About This Home

As of November 2024

Tucked away in a serene and private setting near the heart of New Canaan, this meticulously updated residence offers a seamless blend of classic charm and modern luxury. Located just minutes from the highly regarded public schools and the village center, this home is perfectly positioned for both convenience and tranquility. The main house features extensive recent renovations, including a new cedar shingle roof, copper gutters, custom windows, and modern systems like a full HVAC upgrade and comprehensive drainage improvements. The interiors are equally impressive, with refinished antique wood flooring and a completely renovated kitchen with new countertops and appliances. The reimagined primary suite has a newly appointed bathroom with private access from the back stairs. Enhancing the property's appeal is a fully updated cottage, complete with its own kitchen, bathroom, and HVAC system, offering an ideal space for visitors or extended stays. Additionally, a separate barn or art studio with refinished original flooring and a new wood-burning stove serves as a creative retreat, perfect for inspiring work or quiet relaxation. Surrounded by beautifully landscaped grounds with mature trees, new plantings, and a tiered entertaining patio off the sunroom, this home offers a rare combination of privacy, luxury, and convenience in one of New Canaan's most desirable locations.
