Located in desirable lower East Rock with fantastic curb appeal, this award-winning brownstone offers the best of everything. Built in 1885, this Queen Anne-style rowhouse was constructed for the vice president of the Bigelow Boiler Company. Extensive renovations by local architect Bob Frew in 2019 led to receipt of the New Haven Preservation Award in 2020. Enter in the charming portico to a roomy entryway with exposed brick walls and an open floorplan. The living room has striking original woodwork, stained glass, high ceilings, new hardwood floors, and a restored gas fireplace with soapstone hearth. The dining room has a new chandelier and corner bar with interior lighting. A tastefully remodeled kitchen boasts quartz counters, high-end stainless appliances, wine fridge and built-in pantry. The second floor offers a primary suite, a library/family room with a 200-year-old beam and barn glass door and remodeled half bath. The primary offers a bedroom, bath with double vanities, a walk-in California Closet and laundry room. The third floor has two additional bedrooms; one with exposed brick, vaulted ceilings and a lofted storage area. A French door leads to an incredible rooftop deck with Trex composite decking and amazing views of East Rock.
