Delight in the substantial space afforded in this distinctive colonial, on a corner lot, set among other fine homes in a desirable Westville neighborhood. The East-facing, unique L-shaped design sets this grand home apart, but entails all the classic architectural details you would expect in a Colonial built circa 1920. Enter via a circular, blue-stone walkway to a vestibule and welcoming foyer with a beautiful, wide staircase, one of two. The foyer flows into an enormous, formal living room with handsome stone fireplace and an adjacent family room, surrounded by windows, illuminates both rooms. The large dining room will impress for any formal engagement and there is a generous dining space in the kitchen as well. The kitchen features newer cabinetry, granite countertops, and a small laundry room as well as the second staircase. A back hallway to the garage, with powder room completes the main level. Upstairs there is a lovely, remodeled bathroom and four generous bedrooms including the master suite with office or dressing room and dedicated en-suite. The walk-up 3rd floor includes a 5th bedroom with another full bathroom. Hardwood floors, glorious wood trim and moldings throughout, and a superb balance of old-world charm and updates will enchant you. One-car, attached garage and an open deck from which to enjoy the level, landscaped yard with mature plantings. This gem is just a block to Hopkins School, mere minutes to Westville Village, the Yale Bowl, & downtown New Haven.
