About the Home

There are homes that shelter, and then there are homes that embrace. Welcome to 515 Carter Street, a Louise Brooks masterpiece and one of New Canaan's most beloved homes. This long admired custom-built 2004 residence blends timeless craftsmanship with thoughtful modern design. A circular floor plan connects light-filled spaces designed for entertaining, with 10-foot ceilings, glass pocket doors, and exquisite millwork throughout. The conservatory-style living room features floor-to-ceiling windows and seamless garden views, while the fireside dining room offers arched built-ins and intimate charm. At the center of the home, a chef's kitchen features dual marble islands, glass-front cabinetry, vintage-style refrigerator and freezer, and a charming wall-mounted drinking fountain - an unexpected detail that delights guests. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a wood-burning fireplace, limestone spa bath, and large dressing room. Additional highlights include a potting room with copper sink; dual home offices; a carriage house-style garage with playroom above; three additional en suite bedrooms, plus a vaulted en suite guest room and gym on the third floor. Every corner tells a story, every material chosen with care. 515 Carter Street is more than a house - it's a love letter to craftsmanship, family, and the quiet beauty of Connecticut country life.
