About This Home

As of June 2025

Don't miss this immaculate Hamden 3 bedroom, 1 bath Craftsman ranch update with beautiful millwork and built-ins, on over a quarter acre in the desirable Legion Field neighborhood! There is more than meets the eye to this charming home; a light-filled living room with gleaming hardwood floors, brick fireplace, casement windows, original 6-lite craftsman door and radiant heat, leads through double French doors into a breathtaking dining room/great room with coffered ceiling, built-in bookcases, beautifully maintained wainscoting, and bay window. The thoughtfully remodeled light-filled kitchen boasts butcherblock counters, stainless steel appliances and breakfast bar. All bedrooms are light filled and airy, with gleaming hardwood floors and ample closet storage; a third pine paneled bedroom would make an ideal work-from-home office or library. An updated bathroom features additional storage and high-end fixtures. A three season porch and flat, partially-fenced, easy-to-maintain backyard offer plenty of room to garden and play! This lovely, move-in ready home, conveniently located near parks, hospitals, restaurants, shopping, routes 5, 15, and I-91, and Quinnipiac University won't last. Arrange for a safe, distanced showing!
