Description

Celebrating a Yale graduate this May? This spectacular, sprawling loft in the heart of historic Wooster Square is the perfect home base for Commencement 2026.' The two-bedroom, two-bathroom space comfortably accommodates parents, grandparents, or siblings—with a dining table that seats 6-8 for celebratory family dinners. Old Campus, where the ceremony takes place on May 18, is a 12-15 minute walk. Defined by airy volume, warm wood floors, and extraordinary natural light that shifts beautifully throughout the day, the open-plan living and dining area is furnished with upscale, design-forward comfort and anchored by a striking collection of large, mature plants that give the home a lush, almost conservatory-like atmosphere. Set in a landmark New Haven building completed in 1876, the loft blends historic character with modern comfort. The building has a game room and fully equipped gym. Step outside and you're in one of New Haven's most beloved neighborhoods: world-famous pizza (Frank Pepe's, Sally's), excellent cafés, and a full-service restaurant just a minute away—perfect for post-ceremony celebrations. Wooster Park is a 3-minute stroll; a supermarket is within easy walking distance. Street parking is usually available; no dedicated parking. A plant-loving guest is essential to keep this uniquely green home thriving. Available May 14–29, 2026. Stay five days covering Class Day for 2,500$, or up to two weeks for 4,000$. If interested, please contact me to set up a video call.
