About the Home

Nestled on a country road in the heart of New Canaan, this classic 1989 Colonial offers 5,094 sq. ft. of finished living space with timeless charm and modern updates. Featuring five spacious bedrooms and 4.5 baths, the home is filled with abundant sunlight thanks to its desirable east/west exposure and open layout. The large and inviting Great Room, updated kitchen, and breakfast room flow seamlessly into inviting outdoor living spaces. The dedicated home office and a serene screened-in porch make daily living productive and relaxing. Hardwood floors span the first and second floors, enhancing the warmth of each room. Practicality meets design with two mudrooms (one on the first floor combined with the laundry room, and one on the lower level), plus a two-car garage and custom-built storage areas throughout. The fully finished, walkout lower level adds versatile living space and includes a wine cellar with custom built-ins, a gym, and a playroom, creating a perfect space for all ages. The lower level 5th bedroom and full bath allow for an ideal guest, nanny, or in-law suite. Set on a beautiful, professionally landscaped .72-acre lot with town water and septic, this home combines country charm with convenience. Enjoy being close to The Silvermine Arts Center, GrayBarns on the Silvermine River, multiple parks, green space, the new New Canaan Library, the 300-acre Waveny Park, Grace Farms, highly rated schools, and the charming village of New Canaan.
