It has an amazing area of work and storage space, tasteful white cabinetry with marble countertops, outstanding appliances including a spectacular Lacanche stove, SubZero refrigerator, and a breakfast bar. It's a perfect place to gather. The family room on this level is a wonderful place to snuggle up with a book. The primary suite on the 2nd floor is a true sanctuary with a bedroom, walk-in closet, and a luxurious spa-like bathroom with a free-standing tub, a separate large glass enclosed shower, a double sink vanity and a gas fireplace. There are 3 more good size bedrooms on this level, a hall bath, + a laundry room. The top has a large loft-like room, a study, 2 additional bedrooms, and a full bath. It's perfect for guests, teenagers, or a private retreat. Everything in this house radiates good taste and quality workmanship. There is a one car garage and a very deep fenced yard surrounded by mature trees and landscaping. The close proximity to Town, Yale, YNHH, neighborhood markets, cafes, is ideal. Don't miss this very special East Rock gem!
