Steeped in history dating back to 1846, and once part of a 40+ acre working farm, this one of kind, very special property is one of New Canaan's most notable homes located on Ponus Ridge Road. Full of modern amenities and antique charm, the current owners have completely updated the home including an extensive renovation and addition. Originally two homes, they were joined together with what is now the sun filled dining room with floor to ceiling arched windows and doors. The flexibility of the floor plan allows for formal and informal living spaces with 5 bedrooms, home offices, dens, family rooms, guest spaces and more. Bordered by New Canaan Land Trust on the north and south sides, and set on over 3 acres, this property is private, yet convenient and accessible to downtown New Canaan, Metro-North train station and the village of Scott’s Corners. This one of a kind home is ready for its next owners to carry on its legacy.
