Property Description
Own a piece of Hamden history! This striking Greek Revival home was built ca. 1845 by the Doolittle family (whose lands also helped form West Rock State Park). The gorgeous original clapboard, wide planks and generous fireplaces (including a bread-proofing oven!) have been lovingly preserved. Many specimen plantings grace the extensive gardens. Nearby parks (West Rock, Brooksvale, Sleeping Giant) make this a hiker's and birder's paradise. Yet it's centrally & conveniently located: across the street from West Woods School, easy drive from 91, 15 or 8. Inside, modern upgrades combine the best of old and new: replacement Thermopane windows, updated electric & plumbing (1st floor half-bath has been converted to full bath + laundry), higher-end kitchen appliances (Bosch & Sub-Zero), and a wonderful in-ground saltwater swimming pool with recently revamped heat-pump-based heating system & newer liner, allowing 3-season use. Upgraded pool house and extensive patios make for wonderful indoor-outdoor entertainment. 3 driveways + "party lot" allows plenty of parking for events - or access for service vehicles. Home office/study + artist's/writer's studio space in converted former garden shed (wired for power & electric heat; easy to add water) create multiple spaces for work/privacy. Room for everyone, in all seasons! Come see all the ways you can make this your next home! MORE PHOTOS COMING SOON.
