An incredible opportunity for owner-occupants looking to build equity while enjoying the charm and character of New Haven's historic West River neighborhood! This classic 4-bedroom, 1.5-bath Colonial offers the perfect blend of livable space and untapped potential. The cheerful light blue vinyl siding, newer windows, and freshly paved driveway (with parking for up to 8 vehicles) give this home a great head start. Step into a spacious, fenced-in backyard with a deck-ideal for entertaining, gardening, or simply enjoying your own private green space. Inside, there's room to personalize and modernize, allowing savvy buyers to increase value over time. Recent nearby sales, including 130 Henry Street and 655 Winthrop Avenue, suggest a strong after-repair value of up to $320,000-making this a smart long-term investment. Nestled near local parks, athletic fields, and just minutes from Yale New Haven Hospital and downtown, the location offers both community charm and city convenience. With the right vision, this home can shine-don't miss your chance to make it your own!
