About This Home

Welcome to 85 Porter close to the Heart of New Haven! Easy efficient living in this 2 bed 1 bath cape which could be a phenomenal condo alternative!

This quaint size adds to the charm of low maintenance living, a cozy living room invites you into the freshly painted kitchen with room for stools and an eat-in set up. Kitchen opens up into the long backyard which transforms this home into a small escape despite being close to downtown. Upstairs you will find 2 bedrooms and the bathroom. In the full size basement you will find plenty of room for storage, a separate room which could be converted into work space or potential third bedroom, as well as laundry with a walkout into the backyard.
