265 West Elm Street #1 New Haven, CT 06515

This charming Westville property is a wonderful blend of historic details and modern conveniences. The remarkable stone front porch leads to a large, gracious entry hall with an open flow to all the first floor rooms. The large living room has a fireplace flanked by two original diamond pane windows. The spacious dining room has a built-in corner hutch, and the modern kitchen has ample work and storage space, granite counters, a chef's dream stove and a center island work space. The second floor has a generous primary bedroom suite with an attached full bath with good closet space. In addition, there are two more bedrooms and a charming office with a south facing bay window. There is a stairway to the third floor which has open attic space and two finished rooms that can be used as office or bedroom space. Since 1988, this home has been part of Jamestowne Estates, an innovative association of detached single-family homeowners in Westville who have banded together to share property maintenance costs. This means reduced taxes (over $1000/year less than for comparably sized non-associated properties across the street). Close to Westville Village, Yale, downtown New Haven, Southern CT, Hopkins and easy highway access.
