A rare opportunity to live on almost one level acre in downtown New Canaan where you can walk to schools, parks and the YMCA. This 5 bedroom 6900 sf stone and shingle home on three finished floors plus a three-car garage is designed for gracious yet casual living. From the moment you enter the quality of the construction is apparent with exquisite millwork, custom finishes and open airy rooms. The extraordinary kitchen, breakfast room, family room and mudroom were completely remodeled and expanded in 2018 and are the heart of the home. They have been featured in several publications. Recently connected to natural gas, the house has a new boiler, new roof roof, refinished hardwood floors, stylish new carpet throughout and many additional improvements. The basement is currently used as a pilates studio and children's play area. Capitalizing on the large property the house sits well back from the road and offers an enormous backyard complete with oversize terrace, fireplace and a built-in grill. There is ample room for a pool. This is a home where you can enjoy life both inside and out - it is beautiful, spacious, private and convenient to everything.
