UNDERSTATED GRANDEUR. UNFORGETTABLE LIVING. At the end of a quiet New Canaan cul-de-sac stands a rare blend of timeless elegance and modern livability. Architect-designed and set amidst landscape architect-crafted gardens, this stone and shingle estate is grand yet understated with every inch reflecting thoughtful design & refined materials. The gracious foyer leads to a sunlit living room, elegant dining room, and inviting family room-all with walls of windows that frame the breathtaking property. A stunning chef's kitchen awaits with luxury appliances, custom cabinetry, and rich stone countertops. Inside, six ensuite bedrooms and seven full and two half baths offer exceptional comfort and privacy. The main level is rich in architectural detail and warmth, with six fireplaces and seamless flow for everyday living or elegant entertaining. The lower level truly elevates the experience. Designed for memorable gatherings, this expansive space includes a custom wine cellar, full home theater with fireplace, billiards room, sauna, and a bespoke bar that rivals any private club. Stone patios, lush lawns, and an outdoor fireplace set the scene. The pool and its beautifully appointed pool house-with a full kitchen-offer resort-style relaxation. A separate guest house complete with its own garage is perfect for extended stays. Sited high to capture long, leafy views, this estate invites you to slow down, soak it in, and savor every moment. Just minutes to town, yet a world away.
