This spacious, classic colonial is walking distance to Edgerton Park and part of the Edgehill neighborhood, as well as close to the multi-purpose Villano Park, named to honor its current owner, former mayor, Peter Villano for his instrumental efforts in obtaining funding for the Newhall Remediation project. The entry foyer of the home leads to a bright living room with a wood-burning fireplace, built-in bookcases and a lovely stained glass window. French doors open to a large formal dining room with chair rail and access to a delightful sunroom, perfect for work or play. The kitchen has a large pantry and a perfect little breakfast nook. There is a half-bath adjacent to the kitchen. Washer and dryer are located off the kitchen in the hallway leading to the deep and private back yard. The second floor has three bedrooms, a small office and one full bath. The floors are hardwood on the main and second levels, but do need to be refinished. The third floor has painted wide plank floors. Up on that level there are two bedrooms, a family room or office space and one more full bath. The interiors have recently been painted and the heating system is just three years old. From this home one has easy access to downtown New Haven, Yale University and Yale New Haven Hospital, along with all the wonderful cultural activities of the urban New Haven area.
