128 Blake Road

If you've ever dreamed of a storybook Tudor cottage tucked away in a peaceful setting-yet just minutes from Yale and downtown New Haven-this is the one. Originally part of the historic Whitney Blake estate, this enchanting stone and stucco carriage house was thoughtfully converted into a private residence in 1924. The current owners have completed extensive updates, including a brand-new kitchen and two beautifully renovated bathrooms. A newly laid stone path winds through lush, landscaped gardens and leads you to a home that feels truly magical. Inside, the foyer opens to a spacious living room featuring hardwood floors, arched doorways, two exposures, and a classic wood-burning fireplace. An adjoining reading nook with a built-in window seat leads to the dining room, which includes a charming built-in corner cabinet. The fully renovated kitchen blends historic character with modern convenience: exposed stone walls, custom cabinetry, new appliances, a pantry, and a cozy patio perfect for morning coffee. The first floor also includes a sunny study, a comfortable bedroom, and a fully updated bath - an ideal setup for guests or working from home. Upstairs, you'll find three additional bedrooms and another updated bath with an exposed stone wall. The primary bedroom includes a versatile adjoining room, currently used as an office, that could serve as a dressing room or nursery, or converted into an en-suite bath.
