About this home

Gracefully blending the timeless charm of a 1933 residence with thoughtfully executed renovations, this exceptional home offers an enviable in-town life style in one of New Canaan' most coveted neighborhoods. Perfectly positioned on a corner lot, the home was expanded and beautifully renovated in 2004 by noted California architect Michael Pease, introducing contemporary design while preserving its original character, with additional updates in 2014. Sun-filled living spaces create an inviting atmosphere for everyday living. At the heart of the home is a spacious, well appointed kitchen that flows effortlessly into the family room, gracious living room, and dining room. The first-floor primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with the convenience of main-level living. The second level features three additional bedrooms, two full baths, and a delightful sleeping porch- a rare and cherished feature that provides the perfect place to relax and unwind. Equally appealing is the home's exceptional walk-to-town location. Enjoy easy access to Mead Park with tennis, pickleball, a playground, walking trails and more. The Metro-North train station and New Canaan's vibrant village downtown- with its acclaimed restaurants, charming boutiques, library, cafes, and seasonal festivities are all within walking distance.
