The 2,300-square-foot house has been extensively updated over the past six years, blending modern renovations with warm architectural character in a peaceful, private setting.
   

2. Hamden's Overdue Audits Face More Delays as More Errors Uncovered (ctexaminer.com) — Hamden's long-overdue financial audits have hit new snags, with outside auditors finding errors in 20 of 100 tested accounts and no clear timeline to finish the 2023–24 review. The delays have already cost Hamden its credit ratings and come as officials juggle a major budget shortfall, software limitations, and the need for extra outside help to untangle the town's books.
   

3. West Nile virus detected in mosquitoes in Shelton, days after first human case (ctpost.com) — Hamden is among several Connecticut communities where mosquitoes have tested positive for West Nile virus, underscoring a growing late-summer health concern. State and local health officials urge residents to use repellent, avoid peak mosquito hours at dawn and dusk, and remove standing water around homes to reduce breeding sites and lower infection risk.
   

4. Connecticut schools prepare for swatting threats after hoax calls (nhregister.com) — Connecticut law enforcement and school leaders are tightening protocols to respond quickly and calmly to swatting threats after several districts, including Hamden, received hoax calls in June.
