A rare two-lot offering, 950 Benham Road presents an exceptional opportunity for both homeowners and investors seeking privacy, flexibility, and long-term investment value. This unique package includes the main lot with the beautifully renovated Cape, set on nearly two wooded acres, plus an additional vacant one-acre lot. Together, the two lots create nearly three acres of exceptional privacy and natural beauty, all in a peaceful setting that feels tucked away while still being approximately five minutes from major commuting routes, including the Merritt/Wilbur Cross Pky. Together, the nearly three acres of exceptional privacy, natural beauty, and flexibility in a secluded setting feels like a true retreat. Inside, the home has been completely updated with high-end finishes while preserving its classic charm and character. Thoughtful improvements include refinished hardwood floors, fresh neutral finishes, updated doors and trim, recessed lighting, and a bright, timeless design throughout. The stunning new kitchen is the heart of the home, featuring white cabinetry, white quartzite countertops, a large center island, all-new stainless steel appliances, and a beautiful white herringbone backsplash that extends to the ceiling. The kitchen opens seamlessly to the dining area, creating an inviting space for entertaining. The family room offers warmth and character with a fireplace and a brand-new custom-built fireplace surround. Just off the main living space, the sunroom adds another special retreat with brick-tile flooring, exposed brick, walls of windows, and relaxing views of the surrounding woods; add heating to the room adds an additional 150 sq. feet to the total. The home offers four bedrooms and two fully renovated bathrooms. The main-level bath features a modern black-and-white design with a tiled shower, while the upstairs bath has been beautifully updated with new tile and a classic early-20th-century feel. Each bedroom is bright and comfortable, with hardwood floors, fresh paint, and a soft neutral palette. Additional major updates include a new HVAC system providing both heating and cooling, while the home also retains its radiator heat as a primary or secondary heat source for added comfort during the winter months. A brand-new septic system with new tanks, leaching fields was just completed, offering the new owners valuable peace of mind for many years to come. Outside, the property feels like a private nature preserve, surrounded by mature trees, natural stone walls, wooded views, a spacious deck, and extraordinary privacy across nearly three combined acres. Enjoy the quiet, tucked-away setting while still being minutes from West Rock Ridge State Park, Hamden amenities, shopping, restaurants, Quinnipiac, Yale, and major commuter routes. Move-in ready, extensively renovated, and offered with two separate lots, 950 Benham Road delivers a rare combination of style, comfort, land, location, and long-term investment value. Lot with remolded home is 1.88 acres (taxes $9064) and vacant lot is .99 acres (taxes $3,035).
