About this home
Welcome to a property where a collector's garden of Japanese maples, rhododendrons, and azaleas - in every shade from gold to crimson to blush pink - announces something extraordinary before you've even reached the front door. A circular drive leads to this classic New England white Colonial, set on nearly three and a half acres on prestigious Turtle Back Road, where grounds shaped with the care of a private arboretum unfold: flagstone terraces, fieldstone walls, and specimen plantings set against a canopy of mature trees. From its copper roof to its storied gardens, every element of this five-bedroom, six-bath New Canaan property feels distinctive. With nearly 5,200 square feet of living space, the home offers generous accommodations while maintaining real warmth and character. Positioned to embrace its surroundings, sun-filled interiors and tranquil views from nearly every room create a seamless connection between indoors and out. Whether entertaining on a grand scale or savoring the simple pleasures of everyday life, the property offers a rare sense of space, comfort, and retreat. Just minutes from the heart of New Canaan, this exceptional home provides easy access to downtown amenities, award-winning schools, parks, and Metro-North - while feeling worlds away from it all. Seldom does a property offer such a rare combination of privacy, beauty, and one of Fairfield County's most sought-after addresses....
