About this home

A Frazier Peters masterpiece awaits its next steward on a private two-acre sanctuary in New Canaan. Enchanting stone steps lead the way to this magical home, where a great room with a soaring cathedral ceiling and large wood burning fireplace anchors the residence - flanked on one side by effortless entertaining spaces including a gourmet kitchen, formal dining room, and wet bar, as well as the private primary suite, and on the other by three additional bedrooms, a dedicated office, and two full baths. A sunroom bathes the home in natural light, offering a serene retreat to take in the lush, private grounds. Full of timeless character, architectural provenance, and enduring construction quality, this rare offering is ripe for re-imagination by someone ready to put their own stamp on something truly special.

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.
