This spectacular building is currently an office owned and occupied by a prominent law firm since 1971. 475 Whitney Avenue presents a rare opportunity to restore and 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 and layout-featuring expansive rooms, high ceilings and formal entertaining spaces lend themselves naturally to residential reuse. The architectural details including the yellow venetian brick and copper gutters and 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 and 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 and a formal residential driveway restoring the property's original estate-like setting while maintaining functional access. 475 Whitney Avenue is widely regarded as one of the most distinctive residences along Whitney Avenue. Building is equipped with an elevator that stops from basement to 3rd floor. Please use Show Assist for Appointments. Thank you
