162 Marshall Ridge Rd, New Canaan, CT 06840

One of the original in town estates, this classic 1910 center hall colonial has the gracious proportions of its time with 9ft+ ceilings, plaster walls, 12 over 12 windows, elegant archways and bridal staircase. There are 4 fireplaces, large open rooms, original fir flooring throughout and a delightful screened in porch that opens to an original grotto with reflection pond and stone walls from the 1910 landscape architecture. The later addition of a custom curved panoramic window in the family room has a viewing easement to Long Island Sound and a perfect orientation to enjoy the beauty of mature Tulip, Oak and Kousa Dogwoods that grace the 1.2 acre property. The main bedrooms are all en-suite and the large master suite has a wood burning fireplace and two closets. There’s a walk out balcony that overlooks the yard and two bedrooms with bath over the garage create a perfect in-law, guest or au-pair option. A walk-up attic with cedar closet could be finished and the walk-out basement with stone foundation has more potential for finished space. Charming bead board siding in the two car garage is original. A newer roof and town water are a plus. Bring your love of a classic and your TLC to make this wonderful house your own. This is an ESTATE being sold AS IS.
