Welcome to 372 Brushy Ridge Road in the picturesque town of New Canaan, CT. A stone-pillared entrance leads you to this magnificent estate, meticulously transformed between 2022 and 2024. This 8,000+ sq ft home strikes a balance that is genuinely difficult to achieve: light-flooded and effortlessly modern, yet layered with warmth and character that only time can give. The four rooms at the heart of this home - the primary bedroom, kitchen, sunroom, and family room - each received transformations of the highest order. In both the primary suite and sunroom, rooflines were lifted to create spaces of extraordinary volume and light. The primary bedroom is a true sanctuary: soaring ceilings, new Marvin windows framing the treetops, an antique Delft-tiled fireplace, and a spa bath of the finest standard. The rebuilt sunroom, with vaulted beamed ceiling and Paris Ceramics heated reclaimed marble tile floor, is simply breathtaking, and the showpiece kitchen looks directly into it, featuring custom cabinetry, honed black granite, a butler's pantry, and Miele coffee station. Antique chandeliers, Ball & Ball hardware, Gracie wallpaper, and hand-scraped oak floors whisper of the home's soul - every finish custom, nothing left to do. Set across 3.5 enchanting acres designed by renowned landscape architect Kathryn Herman, the grounds evoke the quiet romance of the English countryside. A guest cottage and garaging for five complete this singular estate - minutes from town, worlds away.
''LONG MEADOW FARM'', the original 1732 salt-box was once a harness shop and dairy farm.
