About This Home

As of November 2022

No. 222 South Avenue was fully renovated in 2015 to reveal a fresh, bright, open home with beautiful finishes and dramatic living spaces. Large windows and French doors throughout allow light to pour in, yet it is quietly sited down a long driveway—offering the utmost privacy. A convenient first floor master suite and a tucked away office loft are some of the coveted indoor features. A lovely patio with a dining area and fire pit, and large level yard add extended living space. The immaculate utilities basement provides an additional option for storage. The best of in-town locations, South Avenue provides an easy jaunt to idyllic downtown New Canaan, parks, and schools.
