Rare opportunity to build your dream home on nearly two acres in a desirable Hamden setting. This level, cleared lot was once the site of a single-family farmhouse and offers an attractive homesite surrounded by stately residences. The rear of the property abuts approximately 23 acres of undeveloped land, providing a beautiful natural backdrop and added privacy. A small brook runs along the far rear portion of the lot, adding to the peaceful setting and offering the possibility of a water view depending on the placement and design of a future home. The property has no wetlands and is not located in a flood zone. A cinder block garage and storage shed remain on the property. Conveniently located near Yale University, Yale New Haven Hospital, I-91, the Merritt Parkway, Metro-North, Sleeping Giant State Park, and the many educational, recreational, dining, and cultural amenities of Greater New Haven. Private well and septic will be required. Buyers to perform their own due diligence regarding zoning, building requirements, well and septic feasibility, permits, approvals, and intended use.
