Enjoy unbelievably low electric bills thanks to solar panels that pay for themselves in this expansive 3-bedroom, 3-bath Raised Ranch, updated in 2015 with a newer roof, furnace, windows, beautifully refinished fireplace, and a stunning kitchen with granite counters, stainless steel appliances, and a center island.

Ideally located in Hamden's sought-after North End within the West Woods Elementary School district, with a view of Sleeping Giant. Back on market due to buyer not being able to obtain financing.
