Old World Charm with Modern Flair


Like a wrap-around porch? This home has it.

Flexibility and space combine with modern amenities and Old World charm in this 4,000-plus square foot home in East Haven.

Guests know they’re in for a treat from the moment they approach the wrap-around porch with elaborate stone work. That attention to detail continues indoors, where soaring ceilings and open sight lines are punctuated with fine finishes and the textures of Corian counters, bright hardwood floors, and expert tile work.

Unexpected extras include a dry bar and interior balcony space in the cathedral-ceiling living room and an amazing, open-span five car garage that provides an airy work and play space. A full suite with separate entrance offers an au pair or in-law option, as well.

While the home is sited off the street to maximize privacy, it’s just a short trip to East Haven’s beaches and the restaurants and shops of downtown.

This home is being offered for sale by Coldwell Banker for $465,000. For more information or a showing, contact The Burke Conti Group—Steve Burke at 203-640-9329 or Chuck Conti at 203-640-3667.
