Iconic and sought after Wooster Square treasure! Built in 1871 for David R. Brown, these French Empire style Brownstones have been described by local historians as "the most lavish in the City" and examples of the architecture of the post-civil war period. This building is the "end" of 1 of 6 brownstones with a prominent position overlooking Wooster Square Park. Equally impressive, this brownstone boasts a rare private pathway to an enchanting private yard - a gardener's dream. The building itself consists of 4 spacious 1 bedroom apartments, each with incredible original details - including high ceilings, wood moldings, oversized windows overlooking the park, hardwood floors, French doors, and ornate marble fireplaces. The apartments each have large eat-in kitchens with views overlooking the yard, roomy living rooms, 1 bedroom and a full bath. Additional bonus space in the attic. The building has a rare backyard, unique for City living, with beautiful gardens, pathways and sitting area. The property is currently being used as a multi use dwelling, but would be perfect for conversion into a remarkable single family home, as it was originally intended. Prime location a short walk to Downtown New Haven, Yale, farmers markets, and world famous pizza. This is truly one of New Haven's most sought after and recognizable properties.
