About this home

Exceptional Renovated Antique Home in the Heart of Downtown New Canaan. This exquisite antique home, nestled in the vibrant heart of downtown New Canaan, masterfully blends historic charm with contemporary luxury. Completely rebuilt "to the studs" in 2011, it boasts wide-board hardwood floors, new casement windows, updated wiring and plumbing, and a high-efficiency gas boiler. In 2014, the property was further elevated with the addition of a heated in-ground pool, a stylish cabana room, and a one-car garage with ceiling height designed to accommodate a car lift. The gourmet kitchen is a chef's dream, featuring quartz countertops, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Wolf range with built-in grill, Miele dishwasher, GE trash compactor, disposal, and a center island with a wine fridge. Entertain in style in the elegant living and dining rooms, each illuminated by antique Art Deco chandeliers and connected by a dramatic see-through gas fireplace. A Sonos 1 sound system provides integrated audio throughout the home. The dining room also features a sophisticated wet bar with a marble countertop, Sub-Zero bar fridge with ice maker, and glass shelving for barware. The luxurious main-level primary suite offers a spa-like retreat with a marble vanity, oversized walk-in shower, and an expansive walk-in closet. Both the dining room and primary suite open onto a beautifully landscaped patio with mature trees and perennial flower beds-an ideal spot for private, al fresco dining. The heated pool off
