Timeless character and thoughtful, recent updates come together beautifully at this classic 1930s Colonial set on over three private acres in one of New Canaan's most serene settings. Lovingly maintained and enhanced over time, you'll find a rare combination of architectural charm, graceful living spaces, and a sense of quiet retreat surrounded by protected land. The gracious foyer introduces interiors filled with warmth and personality, where rich finishes and curated details create a home that feels both refined and deeply comfortable. The living room, anchored by a fireplace, opens seamlessly to a terrace, inviting an easy connection between indoor and outdoor living. A very generous dining room and a cozy, wood-paneled family room offer intimate spaces for gathering or unwinding, while the recently renovated kitchen is both functional and beautifully designed, with custom cabinetry, high-end appliances, and beautiful western sunlight with views across the property. Upstairs, four well-proportioned bedrooms include a serene primary suite with a newly designed bath and custom closet. Each additional bedroom offers its own sense of privacy and comfort. A separate studio complete with its own full bath and walk-in closet, provides exceptional flexibility for guests, extended family, or a private work-from-home suite. The grounds are as special as the home itself.
Gently rolling and thoughtfully landscaped, the property has been completely fenced and is ideal for dogs, while still maintaining the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape. An inviting pool, terrace, and multiple outdoor living areas create a setting that is equally suited to entertaining or quiet afternoons at home. Bordered by the New Canaan Land Trust, the property offers a rare sense of privacy and permanence. A home with history, heart, and a clear sense of place is ready for its next chapter.
