Property Description

This spectacular building is currently an office owned & occupied by a prominent law firm since 1971. 475 Whitney Avenue presents a rare opportunity to restore & reposition one of New Haven's most architecturally significant properties into a signature residential asset. Originally constructed as a grand private residence in 1896, the building is ideally suited for conversion back to a luxury single-family estate or redevelopment from the current office configuration as a boutique multi-family or condominium offering. The structure's scale, craftsmanship & layout-featuring expansive rooms, high ceilings & formal entertaining spaces lend themselves naturally to residential reuse. The architectural details including the yellow venetian brick & copper gutters & flashing make this prohibitively expensive to replicate today. In addition to the main residence the property includes a detached rear structure (originally a garage, later converted to conference space) that could possibly be repositioned into 1 or 2 additional residential units, guest accommodations or accessory dwelling space creating meaningful added value & flexibility. The current site configuration includes a large, paved parking area which offers a unique opportunity to reclaim a portion of the grounds for landscaped lawns, private outdoor space & a formal residential driveway restoring the property's original estate-like setting while maintaining functional access.
