A stately historic home and beloved local landmark in the charming hamlet of Hamden. Built in 1886 and gracefully set back from the road on a full acre, this beautifully preserved turnkey residence blends timeless character with modern comfort. Original details include soaring ceilings, arched windows, oversized antique doors with decorative millwork, elegant archways, and beautifully turned wood banisters that showcase the craftsmanship of another era. Offering five bedrooms, four-and-a-half baths (which includes a private second-floor apartment) and several other flexible spaces, the home strikes a rare balance between grandeur and warmth -- equally suited for everyday living, entertaining, or multigenerational use. A striking two-story carriage house with wide-plank floors adds even more opportunity, whether envisioned as a guest house, studio or workshop.. A charming shed/chicken coop complements the storybook setting. Lovingly maintained and thoughtfully updated, the property honors its historic integrity while embracing a clean, modern aesthetic. Residential/commercial zoning opens the door to a variety of possibilities, including a bed & breakfast, boutique business venture, live/work space, or investment opportunity. Outside, landscaped gardens, mature trees, and expansive lawns create a peaceful setting that changes beautifully with the seasons -- a place where history, beauty, and possibility come together with ease.
