493 Valley Road, New Canaan, Connecticut 06840

About this home

Highest and Best Sunday, May 24th at 1PM. Quietly set back from the road in one of New Canaan's most serene settings, 493 Valley Road is a beautifully updated 4-bedroom, 4-bath Colonial offering an exceptional sense of peace and privacy-just minutes from downtown New Canaan, Wilton, and the Silvermine area. Move-in ready and extensively improved, this inviting home blends timeless character with modern comfort: a renovated kitchen, updated bathrooms, refinished hardwood floors, and fresh interior and exterior paint are among many recent improvements throughout. A beautifully appointed chefs kitchen opens to a stunning dining room where a full wall of windows looks out to an expansive yard and water views that create a truly idyllic backdrop. The living room, anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and custom built-ins, flows directly to the deck for seamless indoor-outdoor living. A spacious family room with its own fireplace and French doors offers a relaxed setting for everyday gatherings. A private office and separate den provide flexible spaces to work or retreat. Upstairs, four generously sized bedrooms include a spacious primary suite with a newly renovated bath, plus a secondary bedroom privately situated alongside an updated full bath, offering flexibility as a guest suite when needed. The finished lower level adds bonus space for recreation/fitness, or media, with ample storage.

Listing & sale history

Every time this exact home has come to market in the MLS data this site tracks. Where a sale closed, the recorded sale price is shown; "asking" marks a price the home was listed at rather than what it sold for.

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.
