Tucked into the scenic hillside of Hamden's sought-after Blue Trail neighborhood-on a street lined with architecturally distinctive homes-this stunning, one-of-a-kind contemporary offers the perfect balance of design, comfort, and natural beauty. A versatile floor plan and thoughtful updates make this home truly move-in ready. The first-floor primary suite provides ease and privacy, while the two-story living room impresses with soaring ceilings, a dramatic floor-to-ceiling fireplace, and walls of glass that frames tranquil woodland views. The gourmet eat-in kitchen is a chef's dream, featuring Sub-Zero refrigeration, Miele double ovens, a Jenn-Air gas cooktop, Miele dishwasher, and a large workstation sink-all set within a warm, modern design that flows seamlessly into the open living spaces. Upstairs, a loft-style family room offers flexible space for a home office, library, or media area. Two spacious bedrooms and beautifully renovated spa-like bath complete the upper level. The bathroom renovation (2009) includes an expanded layout with a 6-foot soaking tub, architect-designed custom cabinetry in quarter-sawn oak, new windows, hidden storage, a wall of mirrors, and Restoration Hardware fixtures-a thoughtful blend of craftsmanship and style. A walk-out lower level provides a bright, private area ideal for an office, studio, or au pair suite with its own entrance.
