Cherished by the same family for nearly 30 years, this beautifully updated Colonial sits on a desirable New Canaan cul-de-sac that has recently welcomed multi-million-dollar new construction - offering exceptional value at this price point, just moments from town. The recently renovated kitchen opens to a spacious layout ideal for both everyday living and entertaining, complemented by a large living room with fireplace, a formal dining room and a Great Room with soaring cathedral ceiling that is a showstopper. Upstairs, the primary bedroom is joined by three additional sun-filled bedrooms, all with hardwood floors that carry the home's warmth throughout. Outside, a private deck overlooks a beautifully landscaped yard framed by mature evergreens - great for gathering or play. This is a home where all that's left to do is move in.
