About this home

Classic Colonial in sought-after Silvermine, set on four acres of protected natural surroundings that offer a rare combination of privacy, beauty, and enduring character. Mature trees, preserved wetlands, and seasonal views create a landscape that feels both expansive and intimately connected to nature, while a conservation easement helps ensure these surroundings remain protected for generations to come. Inside, elegant living spaces and thoughtful design create a home equally suited to quiet enjoyment and effortless entertaining. A two-story entry opens to an oversized formal living room, while the kitchen flows seamlessly into the family room. Two main-level offices offer flexibility for today's lifestyle. The primary bedroom features a spa-like bath with heated floors and dual walk-in closets. Three additional bedrooms include two en-suite baths. A private fifth bedroom with sitting room and full bath is ideal for in-law or au pair. Finished basement and full-house generator complete this exceptional offering.

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 $2,775,000, ranging $2,250,000 to $4,295,000.

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.
