About This Home

As of September 2021

Sited high on Brushy Ridge with distant Sound views, this extraordinary 1903 carriage house is simply one of New Canaan's most beautiful vintage estates. Recently restored with impeccable taste and detail, this warm and inviting home with separate 3-bedroom guest cottage is set around a stunning pool and spa, unsurpassed in both style and sophistication. The country kitchen, great room and library have all been renovated with the utmost respect to the property's storied history. Both living and dining rooms feature custom walls of windows and two of the four large fieldstone fireplaces. Meandering stone walls and formal vegetable & cutting gardens sit nestled amongst the rolling lawns. Topping it all is an inspirational two-floor study/sitting room set in the original water tower with 360 degree windows offering views across New Canaan and beyond. All together, its perfect for intimate gatherings and formal entertaining alike, all two minutes from town. Truly one of a kind and enchanting.
