About the Home
Set on over four and a half acres of private, level grounds in one of New Canaan's most sought after locations, this exceptional estate offers a rare combination of scale, privacy, and close to town convenience. Originally built in 1962 and thoughtfully expanded, the property unfolds as a true compound. The main residence features five bedrooms, seven baths, and beautifully proportioned living spaces anchored by three fireplaces. A seamless connection between the chef's kitchen and family room creates the heart of the home, designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. The kitchen is fully equipped with a six burner Wolf gas range, second Wolf oven, Miele dishwasher, Sub Zero refrigerator and freezer, wine cooler, beverage drawers, marble island, and double sinks. Beyond the main residence, the estate continues to impress. A separate antique guest house with full kitchen, 3 bedroom and 1-1/2 bath provides ideal accommodations for extended family or guests. The heated gunite pool and pool house, added in 1991, offer a true retreat setting, complete with a party room, kitchen, bedroom, bath, and sauna for a resort like experience. A rare opportunity to own a private New Canaan estate with exceptional grounds, flexibility of living, and proximity to town.
