Description
Bursting with historic charm, 809 Townsend Ave., harkens back to the days of tall ceilings, solid wood doors, and artisan moldings. With features like the beautifully crafted entry stairway and staff stairs in the kitchen, you’ll be dreaming of days gone by. Move seamlessly through the broad, wraparound porch adorned with a bead board ceiling into the grand foyer flanked by the formal living room and dining room, usable as a first floor bedroom as it has its own closet. Move into the family room with its period brick fireplace into the sizable kitchen that gives you access to a full bathroom, back staircase, basement and side entrance perfect for unloading groceries. At the back of the kitchen is a spacious room which can be used as an oversized butler’s pantry and laundry room. Still further at the back of the house is an large mudroom with access to the driveway and plenty of space to store coats, boots and recreational equipment. Upstairs you’ll find a primary bedroom with a walk-in closet, 3 more bedrooms, a bonus room and a full bath, giving you plenty of room for family or guests. The walkup attic can be finished for additional living space and offers a view of LI Sound! Outside, this timeless beauty sits on a perfectly oversized level lot, is set far back from the road and has a convenient storage shed in the backyard. Located close to I91, I95 and minutes from New Haven theaters, restaurants, museums and culture, this extraordinarily special property won’t last long!

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI’m a current student at Nathan Hale school in 7th grade. I joined the school in 5th grade, before that I was attending a catholic school in Branford. I had a few bad experiences at my old school which led to me switching here. In my past three years of being at this school, I’ve not learned a single new piece of information that I have not learned. In all I would not recommend unless your child is severely behind and wants to stay behind.Student Review1mo ago - Wilbur Cross High School
