The elegant five-bedroom main residence, built in 1938 by esteemed architect Harold R. Sleeper, boasts resplendent period details, soaring ceilings, oversized windows and an abundance of natural light.

Grand rooms flow to terraced patios, formal perennial gardens and sparkling pool - all in the serenity of this magnificent property.

A separate three-bedroom cottage offers a quintessential respite. Sensitively maintained, the ultimate in peace, privacy, luxury and tranquility just 45 miles from New York City.

When Architect Harold R. Sleeper designed the main residence in 1938, he set new standards for building principals emphasizing thoughtful design, superior construction and detailed craftsmanship.

Grand formal rooms flow graciously to outdoor spaces and step easily from private patios and terraced perennial gardens and steppingstones that run down to the pool, waters' edge and extensive acreage.

Situated away from the main house and nestled in the landscape is the private and character-filled three-bedroom, two-bath Gardener's Cottage with its own private driveway, parking, and garage. All just minutes from the heart of New Canaan and a short trip to New York City.
