About this home

This rare estate only .5 miles from the town center offers ridgetop views of the village steeples, Long Island Sound and beyond. Stoneleigh is the original manor house of 40-acre Kellam Farm set prominently on top of one of New Canaan's most distinctively beautiful ridges. This meticulously renovated home has every amenity for today’s modern buyer. The dramatic entrance hall stretching front to back from the porte-cochere to the veranda has a fireplace and transforms visitors the moment they step inside. The original design and layout allows light and air to pass through the house providing sun-drenched rooms and sweeping views throughout the interior of the home. The heart of the main house is the bright oversized gourmet kitchen with walk-in pantry, brick mudroom and marble island including the large breakfast room and family room. By far the most remarkable asset of this house is the expanded GALLERY VERANDA stretching along the entire back of the house and wrapping around the side affording the most gracious entertaining and gathering spaces in all of New Canaan. The comprehensive restoration of this stone and shingle house by the current owners focused on complete modernization while retaining the authentic Gilded Age charm. The original stone and shingle style construction with irreplaceable timbers defines the character of this iconic New Canaan home. Proposed pool site in process of obtaining permits.
