Ideally located minutes from downtown New Haven, Edgerton Park and the scenic trails of East Rock, the home is also within 15 minutes of five universities: Albertus Magnus College and Yale University (each about 2 minutes), Southern Connecticut State University (about 4 minutes), and the University of New Haven and Quinnipiac University (about 15 minutes). With so much of its original character beautifully intact, this extraordinary Tudor is a rare opportunity to honor its history while bringing your own vision to life.
