About this home
Tucked away on a desirable cul-de-sac just minutes from downtown New Canaan, this beautifully maintained 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath Cape offers space, style, and flexibility in a prime location. The home is move-in ready with hardwood floors throughout, an open, light-filled floor plan, and inviting spaces ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. A two-story entry welcomes you in, with the spacious living room with built-ins and fireplace to the left, and a casual dining area to the right-both thoughtfully designed for comfort and flow. At the heart of the home is the updated chef's kitchen, featuring high-end appliances, granite countertops, custom cabinetry, a wine fridge, bay window, and eat-in area. The kitchen opens to the sun-drenched family room with cathedral ceilings, fireplace, and French doors leading to a generous 26' x 25' deck-perfect for gatherings and celebrations. Upstairs, the large primary suite offers two walk-in closets and a newly renovated bathroom with double vanity, jacuzzi tub, and separate shower. Two additional bedrooms share a full bath. An office area with vaulted ceilings and built-ins, plus a beautifully-designed laundry room complete the second floor. A legal accessory apartment with its own entrance provides endless flexibility - ideal for in-laws, au-pair, guests, a home office or rental income. It includes a full kitchen with granite counters and a 48" Wolf range with 6 burners and grill, living room, vaulted-ceiling bedroom with skylight, full bath and separate HVAC. Additional highlights include a one-car attached garage, Belgian block-lined driveway, outdoor shower, natural gas heat and city water.
