About this home
Get ready to be wowed by this exquisite Prospect Hill colonial. This is totally new construction-rebuilt down to the studs- where elegant design meets effortless, spacious living. It's the rare home built for exactly how people live today. An elegant entry foyer leads to the large living room with a fireplace and spacious dining room, both of which feature French doors that create seamless indoor/outdoor living. The show-stopping kitchen is truly beautiful and offers a large island w/ seating, a walk-in pantry, outstanding workspace and storage, high-end appliances and tasteful marble counters. It has a large opening to a bookcase-lined family room. A study/bedroom, laundry/mudroom, half bath and entry to the attached 2 car garage complete this level. Upstairs, the pristine, serene primary suite offers a walk-in closet and a spa-like marble bath with double sinks. Three additional bedrooms share a beautifully appointed hall bath. The finished lower level is a versatile bonus space ideal as a media room or playroom. Outside, the estate-like grounds deliver a rare and coveted lifestyle: a fully fenced yard, beautiful patio, mature plantings, + a sparkling pool. Every major system has been thoughtfully updated - new energy-efficient windows, heating, AC, hot water + roof. Ideally located close to Yale, Yale New Haven Hospital, Foote School and St. Thomas School with easy access to downtown New Haven. This is a spectacular, outstanding condition home and there is nothing like it!
