Step into a piece of architectural history with this magnificent 1933 brick Tudor, offering over 4,500 square feet of living space, six bedrooms, 4.2 bathrooms and an acre of land. Brimming with timeless character and exquisite original details, this distinctive residence is a rare opportunity to own a truly special home. A grand entry foyer welcomes you with original terra cotta flooring and a graceful spiral staircase. The spectacular living room features soaring ceilings, intricate original millwork and a stately wood-burning fireplace, a space both impressive and inviting. The elegant formal dining room, with its original wallpaper, offers a glimpse into the home's rich history. Original stucco walls, arched doorways, wide-plank hardwood floors and original windows, some with stained glass accents, have been preserved throughout. The floor plan also includes a first floor study, a kitchen with adjoining breakfast room and a convenient back staircase. Upstairs, six bedrooms and four full baths offer exceptional flexibility, including a separate two-bedroom suite ideal for guests or extended family. The finished lower level is made for entertaining, with a fireplace and a charming speakeasy-style bar with original doors, plus additional office and storage space. A charming sunroom overlooks the expansive yard and patio, offering a peaceful retreat and a beautiful connection to the outdoors. An attached three-car garage adds everyday convenience. Ideally located minutes from downtown New Haven, Edgerton Park and the scenic trails of East Rock, the home is also within 15 minutes of five universities: Albertus Magnus College and Yale University (each about 2 minutes), Southern Connecticut State University (about 4 minutes), and the University of New Haven and Quinnipiac University (about 15 minutes). With so much of its original character beautifully intact, this extraordinary Tudor is a rare opportunity to honor its history while bringing your own vision to life.
