"One of the stars of New Canaan's legacy of mid-century modernism, the Wiley House, designed by Philip Johnson in the early 1950's."

NEW CANAAN, CT -- New Canaan's most expensive house currently on the market is this one located at 218 Sleepy Hollow Road. The current asking price is $8.5 million, according to Realtor.com.

  • Address: 218 Sleepy Hollow Rd, New Canaan, Connecticut
  • Price: $8,500,000
  • Square Feet: 3544
  • Bedrooms: 4
  • Bathrooms: 5 Baths
  • Built: 1952
  • Features: One of the stars of New Canaan's legacy of mid-century modernism, the Wiley House, designed by Philip Johnson in the early 1950's, was restored by Roger Ferris + Partners. Johnson's double-height glass pavilion with its living room and subtly hidden but generous galley kitchen cantilevers out over the fieldstone base.

A new pool house built into the hill and the reconstructed barn/art gallery form their own separate courtyard. A stand of towering Hickory trees creates a cathedral space around the house.
