About This Home

As of April 2019

Best of all worlds - a gracious, welcoming home in a neighborhood that feels secluded but is close to everything! An easy stroll from Edgerton Park's summer Shakespeare & garden festivals, the Eli Whitney Museum, Whitney barn concerts, and East Rock's waterfall & hiking trails, 43 Laurel is also a 10 minute walk from Yale's Science Hill, steps from the blue/yellow shuttle routes, 10 minutes by bike from downtown New Haven/the central Yale campus, and a short drive from I91/95. But park in the 2-car garage, and this leafy oasis feels miles from highways and high-rises.

Head in the double-Dutch front door, and gorgeous woodwork is everywhere. Left off the 2-story foyer is a light-filled dining room; right is a generous living room with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, stone fireplace, bay window with views of the woods, and double French-doors onto a stone-faced side-porch. It's the perfect set-up for entertaining: room for a grand piano and plenty of friends and family around it. The big, bright kitchen could use updating but is fully functional. A laundry room/mudroom area and half-bath complete the first floor.

Upstairs is arranged gallery-like around the foyer. The master BR suite has a walk-in closet and ensuite bath; a second main BR also has ensuite bath, and a third full bath is shared by bedrooms 3 and 4, as well as a small home office nook. And if 2400 sq ft is not enough, the walk-up attic and full height basement offer hobby areas, + room for expansion.
