High above the busy streets in the cul-de-sac neighborhood of Blake Circle, this large, newer 4 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath colonial offers peaceful living, yet easy access to downtown New Haven, restaurants and entertainment, Yale, YNHH, and the highways. A two story foyer with a coat closet and powder room welcomes you to this open concept home. The main floor consists of formal living and dining rooms and a spacious, updated eat-in kitchen with granite counters, which opens to the comfortable family room with wood burning fireplace. A bi-level deck is accessed through sliders from the kitchen area. The upstairs sizable master suite has a large walk-in closet and a bath with separate shower and tub. Two smaller bedrooms, along with a large bedroom above the garage which was finished by the current owners, share a family bath in the hallway. Laundry is located on this level. Perfectly suitable for remote work, there are several flex/office spaces available in the home. On the upper level, there is a small bedroom used as an office and an extra wide hallway sitting space. The spacious lower level, which was finished by the sellers, accommodates a family room, a game room and a home office with walk-out. The main level has hardwood floors and 9' ceilings and the bedrooms are carpeted. The lower level has wall to wall carpeting as well. The lot is large and sloping towards east.
