Bluestone steps and a stone & brick center chimney begins the tour of this charming Tudor home! Wide arched openings and wood floors connect the living room, sunroom, and dining room to the kitchen, giving the house an expansive, open feeling. Beautiful, untouched original woodwork and doors can be found throughout the house. Entertain or enjoy quiet evenings in front of the living room fireplace. The spacious, bright and sunny kitchen was modernized in 2017 with quartz countertops, glass tile backsplash, a 7 foot prep island, and a breakfast bar with a window view. Features include a slide-in gas range, stainless steel range hood, deep double-bowl sink, microwave cabinet, and glass front lighted display cabinets. Large format floor tile connects the kitchen to the coordinated modern style of the mudroom/laundry and ¾ bath. The large 3 ft x 4 ft tiled shower is equipped with a large rain shower head and a separate handheld head for ease in cleaning or dog bathing. Rounding out the main floor is a private additional room with large closets that can serve as a first floor bedroom, guest room, or office. An elegant climb up the wide, stately staircase brings you to recently refinished wood floors throughout the three amply-sized second floor bedrooms. The floor also features a tiled full bath, a linen closet, and a cedar-lined storage closet. Another stair takes you to the third floor attic hide-away, renovated with well-insulated vaulted ceiling, carpet, and an industrial-chic exposed brick chimney. Wired with cable and internet, this two-room suite can serve as a den, office, play room, or guest room. The partially finished basement can be used as a family or game room and gives access to the tuck under garage. The basement also has lots of storage space, a new gas multi-zoned boiler and updated 200 amp electrical service. Whole house central AC was added in 2016, and electrical bills are offset by a leased solar panel array on the south-facing roof. With seasonal water views, a short distance to parks, Long Island Sound, New Haven, highways, Union Station and right on the bus line, this house has just about everything.
