About This Home

As of July 2023

This charming ranch style cottage in a storybook setting, has rolling green lawns and mature trees overlooking the pool and river. Truly serene and park like. The wide open interior floor plan has expansive formal rooms that take advantage of the awe inspiring views. The kitchen/family room is the heart of this home. Grab a book from the built in bookshelves, and cozy up next to the fireplace. An adjoining sunroom was built as an artists studio by the current owner. There is a large first floor Master suite with a sitting room, walk in closet and spa like bath. Two additional rooms and a bath on the first floor provide flexibility as bedrooms or work from home space. Upstairs 2 more bedrooms share a bath. And downstairs is the rec room every kid hopes for, plus another bedroom, a full bath and storage galore. Conveniently located between downtown New Canaan and downtown Pound Ridge, you'll enjoy the charming boutique shops and gourmet restaurants in both. With a little vision this is the home of your dreams, just waiting for you to put your stamp on it. Imagine the possibilities!
