Just steps from the University of New Haven, this beautifully maintained 1927 Colonial blends timeless character with thoughtful modern updates. Featuring 3 spacious bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, this home offers both comfort and efficiency in equal measure. The renovated kitchen and bathrooms add contemporary convenience, while original touches like built-in corner cabinets in the dining room preserve its historic charm. The main level includes a generous living room, a dedicated office, a full bath, and a sunroom that opens to a private patio -- perfect for morning coffee or evening gatherings. Upstairs, the large primary bedroom boasts two closets and abundant natural light. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath with excellent storage complete the second floor. Beyond its inviting spaces, this home stands out for its remarkable energy savings. With a fully-owned 7.29kW solar array, a multi-zone mini-split system for customized heating and cooling, and efficient systems like a heat-pump water heater and washer/dryer combo, utility costs last year were kept to just $1,500 for the entire year. The basement provides additional storage and direct access to the garage. Outside, the large backyard offers ample space for gardening, play, or relaxing in the open air. This is a rare opportunity to own a charming, energy-efficient home in a prime location-historic character meets 21st-century sustainability.
