This grand house sits on one of the highest points in New Haven, backed by Yale land on two sides. Beloved by its owners for fifty years, this beautiful house is being sold "as is" and will need substantial renovation. Mechanical systems are seriously deteriorated. That said, the spaces are beautiful, as is the natural light. There are three fireplaces. The configuration of rooms might lend itself to an au pair or in-law suite on the second floor. The grounds include brick pathways and the outlines of a formal garden to the back of the house. It is possible that there is room for a driveway up from the street. The house was built in 1900 by William Hess, who was its first occupant. Hess assisted Charles Webb in the initial development of Saint Ronan Terrace.
