Property Description

Originally constructed circa 1887, this extraordinary Gothic Revival church has been thoughtfully transformed into one of New Haven’s most unforgettable residences. Formerly known as Trinity Hill Bed & Breakfast, this approximately 1,860 sq ft property beautifully marries more than a century of history and architectural character with the comforts and conveniences of modern living as a renovated residence!

Soaring approximately 20-foot cathedral ceilings create a breathtaking sense of scale, while six magnificent Gothic arched windows with rich amber stained glass filter warm light throughout the expansive main living space. Six custom and carefully designed lantern-style chandeliers draw the eye upward and complement the building’s historic character, while beautiful oak flooring brings warmth beneath your feet. At approximately 1,000 sq ft, the former sanctuary provides an incredible open-concept living and entertaining space unlike anything found in a traditional home.

Today, those remarkable architectural details provide the backdrop for a truly distinctive residence.

Designer cabinetry, granite countertops and a focal center island with gas cooktop provide modern functionality while maintaining the open, social atmosphere of the original sanctuary. An adjacent butler's pantry provides space and functionality. Thoughtfully placed bedroom provides privacy without sacrificing the openness that makes this property so special, while the great room provides plent of space to be able to add additional bedrooms.
