Character and charm abound at this sunny colonial home in an outstanding location just steps from historic Edgerton Park and close to Yale and Town. An elegant stairway, wood paneling, and a beamed ceiling in the entry foyer lead to a south facing living room with a wall of original pristine wood paneling, built-in bookcase, woodburning FP, and random width wood flooring. The dining rooms offers a built-in cabinet, windows that overlook the beautifully landscaped garden that has four season interest and joy, and a door to the large screened porch that has views of East Rock. Cooking will be a pleasure with lots of work and storage space and a cozy nook with a round built-in banquette and a wall of windows. The 2nd floor offers a primary BR suite with a dressing area and full bath. There are two additional bedrooms, a study with built-in bookcases, and a hall bath on this level. The 3rd floor feels like a secret hideaway with a large open loft type space that leads to another bedroom and full bath. The backyard is an exceptional space with mature trees and plantings, a stone patio and a feeling of great privacy and serenity. It's amazing to have this country feeling so close to Town. This house radiates warmth and light.
