About This Home

As of September 2021

Located on 2+ acres with a potential pool site this graciously appointed 5-bedroom, 5 bath Colonial Cape was skillfully expanded & renovated by the current owners in 2004. By creating a two-story entry foyer and floor plan that provides a great flow for entertaining and everyday living one can easily visualize a fire in each of the 3 fireplaces in the living, dining and large family rooms all interconnected via the expansive deck and terrace easily accessed by a series of French doors. With two first floor studies one with a full bath the option to have as a guest bedroom provides additional flex space in times when you need it most. The second floor has three generously proportioned bedrooms, 2 full baths and separate laundry room. At the lower level there is ample storage, room to finish off an area to your needs and an additional full bath. All located just a few minutes from New Canaan’s downtown and The Tavern at Graybarns and Silvermine Guild.
