Rare of-right building lot now available in historic Edgerton Park neighborhood! Build your dream house in this quiet, leafy neighborhood of stately homes (for comparison, recent nearby home sales have ranged from $536K - $842K), and you'll feel miles away from it all. But a 10-minute walk leads to Yale's Science Hill, a 10-minute bike ride to downtown New Haven or the Central Yale Campus, and just a few minute's drive to I91/95. This lovely 1/3 acre gently sloping lot was, per attached research findings from AR Consulting, subdivided in 1955, predating and thus grandfathered relative to current lot size restrictions. Thus per attached code review letter + research report (please note copy of original Field Card), no variances or environmental surveys are required. The neighborhood is zoned R3 Residential; building a single-family home of up to 2800 sq ft with standard setbacks is of-right, subject only to town approval of standard planning documents/building permits. Property is nestled between historic homes, just 1/2 block from Edgerton Park's summer Shakespeare and garden festivals, 2 blocks from East Rock Park's waterfall and hiking trails, and steps from Lake Whitney. Very front of 162 Armory slopes more steeply; see 176 Armory to right for a lovely example of how to use that slope to create a curving driveway up to the level building area above.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Zillow. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.
