About this home

Framed by classic stone walls, fruit trees, and lush grounds, this masterfully renovated Colonial blends timeless curb appeal with top-tier modern luxury. The expansive layout flows seamlessly from a sunlit living room, stunning formal dining room and massive 24'x23' family room with a modern woodburning fireplace, dual home offices and a lower-level playroom with large mudroom. Designed as the ultimate heart of the home, the gourmet kitchen is a chef's dream-featuring a custom Raging River wood island, honed granite countertops, dual sinks, and a magnificent CornueFe 110 gas range. Upstairs, four peaceful bedrooms include a lavish primary suite with a marble shower, BainUltra soaking tub, and radiant heated floors. French doors lead to a private outdoor oasis, where a wisteria-draped pergola, covered deck, expansive terrace, sparkling pool, and spa set the stage for effortless summer entertaining-all just minutes from town and an easy walk to local schools.

Public record

From the New Canaan assessor's public property record. These figures describe the property as the town has it on file and can differ from the listing — a finished basement or an addition may not be reflected in the assessor's living area.

Recorded sales

Deed transfers on file with the New Canaan land records, newest first. These are recordings rather than MLS sales, so they include transfers that were never listed. Nominal and $0 transfers (estate, trust and family conveyances) are excluded.
