A truly one-of-a-kind residence in a private setting overlooking Lake Whitney is offered for annual or academic rent. The mid-century home comes fully furnished with stylish interiors, an open floor plan and expanses of glass doors and large windows which seamlessly connect the interior with the professionally landscaped grounds. The beauty of surrounding nature can be enjoyed on the two large patios, wonderful settings for entertaining. The living room with large windows has beautiful views of the lake and is open to the dining area with access to the back patio. The lovely library/office off the living room has direct access to the front patio. Three bedrooms are located in a wing away from the open expanse of the living/dining area, the main bedroom suite on the main level and the two other bedrooms with a family bath a few steps up in a separate area. On the spacious lower level we find a family room and a peaceful study, both opening up to the vistas of the lower terrace and lake. This exceptional retreat is located right next to the New Haven Country Club which offers an 18 hole course, tennis courts, pool and a beautiful clubhouse and is only 10 minutes from downtown New Haven, Yale and YNHH and well connected to the highways.
