Incredible Value-Add Opportunity in the Desirable Beaver Hills Neighborhood! Located in the heart of New Haven's highly sought-after Beaver Hills neighborhood, this 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom home offers an exceptional opportunity for both owner-occupants and investors alike. With the flexibility of a long-term tenant already in place (currently paying $2,115/month on a month-to-month lease), you can step into immediate cash flow or make this charming home your own. This spacious 1,193 SF home features off-street parking and is nestled in a location that is truly second to none. You're just minutes away from Hamilton Park, home of the prestigious Connecticut Open tournament, and the scenic West River, offering endless opportunities for outdoor activities and relaxation. Value-Add Potential: While currently tenant-occupied, this property offers significant potential for improvement and equity growth. Whether you choose to retain the existing tenant, update the property for a higher return, or move in and make it your own, this home's prime location and space create numerous possibilities. Whether you're looking for a new place to call home or a smart investment, this is the perfect opportunity for you! Agents, please refer to the Agent to Agent remarks for further details.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
