21 Autumn Street

21 Autumn Steet is an outstanding, rare find in the East Rock Neighborhood. This contemporary style home sits on a quiet one-block long street. It feels like a secret oasis, yet it's in close proximity to Yale and Town. Originally built C. 1905 as a carriage house, it received major renovations in the 1950's and then again in the 1990's. Tucked behind a row of evergreens is a magical courtyard, which leads to the house. A wall of glass and many windows bring the feeling of the outside in and give a bright and airy feeling throughout. The central core of the house has the main living spaces. The large living room has a fireplace flanked by built-ins, and it offers beautiful views of the courtyard. The formal dining room has built-in cabinetry + a door to a protected outdoor patio. The updated kitchen has excellent work + storage space, large windows w/south light, plus a delightful built-in nook for cozy dining. There are 2 wings off the central core. One has a library w/built-in desk workspace + bookcases, a half bath, + the primary bedroom which offers a full bath with a bathtub + a separate shower, 2 walk-in closets, a large triple closet, + a built-in bookcase. The 2nd wing offers 2 good size BRs, a laundry room, + a full bath. There is gas heat and CA. The elegant simplicity of the house is a perfect blend of modern architectural style and cozy, comfortable living. There is a one car garage, mature landscaping, and lots of room for outdoor activities. This is a true gem!
