90 Heloise Street

Enchanting hidden gem at end of cul de sac! Nestled between the Edgehill and Whitneyville neighborhoods, this home is tucked away from the hustle and bustle, yet just minutes to East Rock and Yale. Rare opportunity to be the next stewards of an enchanting home. In 2005, these owners commissioned Architect George Buchanan to design a magnificent Great room to complement the home's charm and character. What he created will delight you - light and bright with a soaring ceiling and walls of windows, and with the mature landscaping, you feel like you are in a treehouse! Stunning natural millwork and custom cabinetry exude warmth and the square clerestory windows add a touch of whimsy. Open library with floor to ceiling bookcases is the perfect place to curl up with a book, Dining room boasts an original exposed beam, fireplace and high ceilings rarely seen in a home of this vintage! The eat-in kitchen with exposed brick faces south and was bumped out to provide a view of the courtyard gardens. Convenient main level laundry and powder room. Not one, but TWO main level offices make dual work at home situations a breeze. One office has a closet and could easily double as a 5th bedroom. Another architect designed addition, the Primary Bedroom features exposed beams, soaring ceiling, double closets, and a mini-Split for supplemental temperature control. You even have your own dreamy private balcony overlooking the idyllic yard. Primary Bath has tub/shower. You will love the wall of windows that line the upper hallway. This is a great spot to sit and unwind, or set up a standing desk to write or paint and take advantage of the abundant natural light! The other three bedrooms upstairs share a full bath with a mix of vintage and newer finishes. Two car garage for you plus ample street parking for visitors. Whole house generator installed 2020. Wonderful walking neighborhood just a few blocks to Hamden Hall and easy walk to East Rock and Edgerton Parks. Well maintained and beloved throughout, this is not an ordinary house - come see for yourself ~ 90 Heloise is simply magical, inside and out!
