What This Apartment Offers
**Title:** East Rock 3BR/2BA Penthouse | Private Sky Terrace | Vaulted Ceilings | Walk to Yale SOM
**Description:**
This is the big one. A true two-floor... penthouse in the heart of East Rock, this three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment is the crown jewel of an architect-designed Queen Anne Victorian at the corner of State and Bishop — and it lives every bit as large as it sounds.
Formerly the architect owner's personal residence, this unit was designed for someone who wanted space, light, and a home that feels nothing like a rental. High vaulted ceilings and skylights open the apartment up dramatically, creating a sense of volume and airiness that makes an already generous footprint feel even grander. The spacious living room and separate dining area give you distinct zones for relaxing and entertaining without either feeling cramped — a layout that three-bedrooms in this market almost never deliver.
Then there's the sky terrace. A large, private outdoor patio exclusively yours — elevated above the neighborhood, perfect for morning coffee, evening drinks, weekend grilling, or simply having your own open-air retreat in the middle of the city. It's the kind of feature that transforms how you live in an apartment and the kind of space most renters never get access to.
The modern kitchen is equipped with a dishwasher, ample cabinetry, and the counter space to actually prepare a real meal. Two full bathrooms make the three-bedroom layout work effortlessly for roommates, a couple with a home office, or a small family. Off-street parking is available for added convenience.
The location matches the apartment. You're steps from State Street's best restaurants, cafés, cocktail bars, and a French patisserie right across the street. Two popular dog parks are a quick walk for off-leash play, and East Rock Park's trails and summit views are right in the neighborhood. Yale School of Management and the main Yale campus are a short walk away, the Yale shuttle is close by, and downtown New Haven is minutes in any direction — all while your tree-lined corner stays quiet and residential.
Three bedrooms, two baths, vaulted ceilings, and your own private sky terrace in the best neighborhood in New Haven. This doesn't come around twice.
