950 Benham Street

Welcome to 950 Benham Road, a completely renovated Cape tucked away in one of Hamden's most private and secluded settings. Set on two wooded lots, this home offers the rare combination of modern updates, classic character, and peaceful natural surroundings. Inside, the home has been thoughtfully transformed with refinished hardwood floors, fresh neutral finishes, updated doors and trim, recessed lighting, and a bright, timeless design throughout. The stunning new kitchen is the heart of the home, featuring white cabinetry, white quartzite countertops, a large center island with seating, all-new stainless steel appliances, and a beautiful white herringbone backsplash that extends to the ceiling. The kitchen opens seamlessly to the dining area, creating an inviting space for everyday living and entertaining. The family room offers warmth and character with a fireplace and a brand-new custom-built fireplace surround. Just off the main living space, the sunroom adds another special retreat with brick-tile flooring, exposed brick, walls of windows, and relaxing views of the surrounding woods. The home offers four bedrooms and two fully renovated bathrooms. The main-level bath features a modern black-and-white design with a tiled shower, while the upstairs bath has been beautifully updated with new tile and a classic early-20th-century feel. Each bedroom is bright and comfortable, with hardwood floors, fresh paint, and a soft neutral palette. Additional major updates include a new HVAC system providing both heating and cooling, while the home also retains its radiator heat as a primary or secondary heat source for added comfort during the winter months. A brand-new septic system has been approved and is scheduled to be completed shortly, offering buyers valuable peace of mind. Outside, the property feels like a private retreat, surrounded by mature trees, natural stone walls, wooded views, a spacious deck, and exceptional privacy. Conveniently located near Hamden amenities, shopping, restaurants, parks, Quinnipiac, Yale, and major commuter routes, this move-in-ready home offers style, comfort, privacy, and extensive updates in a truly special setting. Two lots sold as a package and taxes reflected include both.
