Welcome to 61 Canner Street, a sun-splashed space in the heart of genteel East Rock. Life is good in this leafy nook. On cardio day, power-walk to the commanding summit of the Rock. Bask in the soul-soothing long vista, from glistening Long Island Sound, to New Yorks Long Island beyond. Contemplate the august Soldiers and Sailors Monument. Survey your domain. Wend your way back down to home. This fresh and bright first-floor apartment is located in the tranquil, leafy East Rock neighborhood. Woven into this amiable tapestry of world citizens are a smattering of wanna-be influencers and bun-wearing trina-be trend-setters . They are well tolerated by the townies - a decidedly remarkably forbearing cohort: The United Nations of East Rock. The covered front porch is a great place to sip coffee, or enjoy an aperitif come rain or shine. Wave to the dogs taking their humans on their daily constitutionals. The bright, fresh foyer welcomes you. The stalwart newel post and stained-glass window gracing the broad stairway exude timeless turn-of-the-century charm. The air is fresh and cool. Thank you, ceiling fan! You call the first floor home. The kitchen is bright and cheerful. You have ample counter area for food prep. The counters are graced by intriguing faux-marble countertops. They are said to be imported from New Jersey, although the provenance cannot be substantiated. The brand-new kitchen floor is in warm wood-tones. All the rooms are generously proportioned. The tall ceilings make for a comfortable airy feeling. Every room has a new ceiling fan, resulting in a fresh atmosphere. It is an energy efficient way to keep cool in summer. All the floors are rich spruce with a warm glowing honey tone. The fresh decor throughout is au courant, a subtle and light gossamer grey tone. The land is remarkably spacious. Savor the quiet privacy afforded by the tall stockade fence. Beyond, there is a large, sun-dappled greensward. The bird song is cheerful, especially in the spring as the new families stake out their digs, divvying up the real estate. They return, home-steading bird houses, eaves and branches high in the stately shade trees. They have all the comforts - birdbaths and feeders to make raising little ones easy. There is a sunny patch of earth to be tilled- spring will be here. Soon time to plant the upper forty. Decisions... soy beans, wheat, tomatoes? Or let the hired hands tend the fields while you read a book under a parasol on the quaint wrought-iron bench. The basement is a tour-de-force (quite a feat for a basement). It is tall and bright. The large windows bring in much natural light. The air is fresh and dry. There is very ample room for storage. There is certainly enough space for a kayak or small dinghy, should your pining mariner's spirit draw you to go down to the sea in ships. White-washed walls and ceilings beckon you thither. OK, maybe the thither-beckoning is really just the laundry room reminding you that you have just run out of clean skivvies. But wait, add a glass of merlot and it could also function as the: "I don't know where Mommy is, sweetie, but I am sure she will be back" refuge room... or the report is due in two hours and oh good, the wi-fi works panic place. Spend a spirited evening endlessly engaging in a pizza-supremacy summit at Modern Pizza. Delegates for Sally's and Pepe's will caucus in the restrooms. Toddle safely home after an evening socializing at East Rock Brewery, Archie Moore's, or any number of convivial watering holes. There are nearby places where you may dangle your lips in a cup of java, providing the sight of chi-chi guys shamelessly, nay proudly sporting man-buns doesn't ruin your mood. Amble over to the delightful Nica's Markets for alfresco noshing. Sate your Euro-phile soul and body. Their prepared meals are beyond fabulous. The stove is worthless now. Stroll through lovely Edgerton Park and browse the plants and flowers for sale in the conservatory. Walk to Peabody Museum or New Haven Historical Society. Ponder New Haven's historical figures at the venerable Grove Street Cemetery. You can commune with the greats. Go over football strategy with Walter Camp. Find out from Roger Sherman if George Washington really did have wooden teeth. Perhaps Charles Goodyear might share some tips on your upcoming tire purchase. Talk tech with Eli Whitney. In the catacombs under the Center Church on the Green, inquire politely of Mrs. Bendict Arnold if she had a clue. Let us know if you find out anything. New Haven's endless cultural attractions are a stroll away. We are walkable to the arts district. Hit the jumpin' live music joints, museums, symphonies, theater, world cinema offerings, symposia, events, galleries, historic sites, inter-collegiate athletics and a gourmand's dream of intriguing international cuisine. There are scores of venerable houses of worship close by. The home is so very convenient to everything. The Divinity School is just at the beginning of the street. Science Park and the SOM are close. You are one block from a Yale Orange shuttle stop and four blocks from a Blue shuttle stop. The city bus stops right down the street. There is lots of great shopping nearby. Acela, AMTRAK and Express Metro-north rail service make Boston, NY, DC, Vermont and all points a stroll and a snooze away. Routes I-91, I-95 and the Merritt (Rt 15) make commuting easy. Appliances included are gas oven-range, refrigerator, microwave, gas baseboard heating and a free shared laundry. One off-street parking space is available with $100 parking fee.
