Set on 1.53 beautifully landscaped acres on a quiet New Canaan cul-de-sac, this single-level home offers a rare blend of style, functionality, and flexibility in one of Fairfield County's most sought-after towns. The setting alone is worth the visit. Mature trees, lush greenery, and substantial new landscaping create a private retreat, while the heated in-ground pool anchors the backyard as a true summer destination. A circular drive and refined plantings deliver a sense of arrival the moment you turn in. Three en suite bedrooms and a half bath are arranged in a thoughtful, distinctive floor plan. The primary suite is a true retreat, featuring a fireplace, a spa-inspired en suite bath, and direct access to the grounds beyond. A second bedroom with its own en suite, atrium, and adjacent studio space offers exceptional versatility, easily serving as a guest suite with a private entrance, home office, creative retreat, or second bedroom. A third en suite bedroom rounds out the layout. Extensive upgrades are evident throughout: a redesigned kitchen with granite counters and custom built-ins, updated bathrooms, refinished flooring, vaulted ceilings, and a sun-filled living room anchored by a Palladian window. Located in the award-winning New Canaan school district and just minutes from town, the train, and the Merritt Parkway, the home delivers the rare combination of privacy and proximity.
