    What's special

    Nestled on over an acre in New Canaan, 51 Oenoke Lane, the first home built on this historic street in 1938, blends timeless charm with modern luxury. Meticulously renovated, this 5,044-sq-ft masterpiece offers 6 en-suite bedrooms, 6.5 baths, including a poolside bathroom, across four refined floors. The sunlit kitchen and breakfast room flow into a hearth room with a Dutch door to the lush backyard. The living room with a vintage paneled fireplace and gleaming hardwood floors, spans from the front to the back of the home. An expansive patio with a fireplace overlooks a flat, emerald lawn, perfect for summer gatherings. Mature peony gardens, ancient lilacs, and a formal garden add pastoral allure. The in-ground pool, enhanced by a new 2.5 car garage and cabana, invites relaxation amid vibrant greenery. Versatile spaces for work, play, or reflection are wrapped in historic warmth. Moments from downtown New Canaan's coffee shops and vibrancy, this expansive lot feels like a private estate yet pulses with town life. More than a home, it's a legacy-the original gem of Oenoke Lane, whispering stories of the past and promising cherished memories. Don't miss this rare chance to own a piece of New Canaan's heart.
