Description

Discover elegance at this custom stone and shingle French Colonial on 4.9 bucolic acres on New Canaan's coveted west side. Bordering an 11-acre land trust, this 8,332 SF home, plus 2,300 SF finished lower level, offers privacy and proximity to downtown New Canaan and NYC commutes. The exquisite gardens, Inspired by Villa d'Este, create a resort-like setting with spectacular views from every window. The grounds feature parterre gardens, a pool, cabana, bluestone terraces with custom wrought iron railings, and a treed meadow. A Belgian block-lined driveway leads to two 2-car garages with a porte-cochere. Grand interior spaces have oversized windows, 10-12' ceilings, Brazilian cherry floors, five marble fireplaces, and deep moldings. The 1,500 SF kitchen and family room dazzle with a Pietra Cardosa island, Viking range, Sub-Zero appliances, and French doors to terraces. The primary suite features a 13' cathedral ceiling, balcony, and luxurious bathroom. Four additional large en-suite bedrooms provide overnight guests and family complete privacy. A study area, lower-level sixth bedroom, playroom, wine cellar, gym, and sauna complete the home. Fencing, electronic gates, and alarm system ensure a safe environment for the entire family. Modern systems include central vacuum, security, water purifier, and EV charger. This is a forever home to be treasured through the generations.
