About this home

On one of New Canaan's most coveted streets, 25 Adams Lane stands as a rare offering: exceptional architecture, extraordinary amenities, and the kind of warmth that cannot be built - only lived. Set on two glorious south-facing acres, the property commands one of the finest front lawns in town; a sweeping, softly grassed acre framed by mature flowering trees, and longtime home to the neighborhood's beloved annual Turkey Bowl. The fully enclosed backyard, bordered by a gently running creek and cathedral of mature trees, delivers the privacy of a country estate within one of New Canaan's most beloved neighborhoods. This spacious residence offers six bedrooms, six full and two half baths across four thoughtfully designed levels. Step inside to soaring 9-foot ceilings, extensive custom millwork, and windows positioned to flood every room with southern light. The open-plan kitchen anchored by two large islands and appointed with Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Thermador, rises to every occasion. Five fireplaces warm the principal gathering spaces, including a handsome paneled study ideal for working from home. The primary suite features a fully custom dressing room and stunning new bath (2025). A private sitting room with three walls of windows, suspended among the treetops, redefines what a home office can be. The finished third floor serves as playroom, studio, or guest quarters. The lower level delivers a nine-seat home theater, well-appointed gym, and wine cellar.

Recent comparable sales

The 5 closest recent sales to this home, nearest match first — same building where possible, then the surrounding streets, widening only when there is nothing closer. These are recorded sale prices from the MLS, not estimates. No automated valuation is shown, because what a home is worth depends on condition, layout and timing that a formula cannot see — call John at 203·883·3399 to read them properly against this home.

5 comparable sales — median $4,195,000, ranging $2,315,000 to $5,300,000.

Recorded sales
