The approach to the home is beautifully framed by flowering cherry trees, creating a picturesque entrance that opens to an expansive backyard bordering the New Canaan Nature Center preserve, offering privacy and tranquil surroundings. Thoughtfully designed, the home's architectural details convey a sense of quiet luxury throughout. This six-bedroom, 8,720-square-foot residence features arched doorways, 10 foot ceilings, exquisite craftsmanship and custom millwork, oversized windows, and hand-selected stone fireplaces.

Four finished floors offer abundant light-filled living areas, including a gracious living room and dining room, as well as a mahogany-paneled library with a coffered ceiling. The gourmet eat-in kitchen, along with the adjacent family room, opens through French doors to a bluestone terrace with an outdoor fireplace--seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. One of the home's highlights is a serene primary suite featuring a fireplace, sitting room, and dressing room. The third floor offers a great room or ideal home office/workspace with a half bath.
