A rare opportunity to live in one of New Canaan's most iconic homes. Laurelrock, built as a country retreat for a member of the Roosevelt family in 1933, underwent an extensive renovation and expansion in 2010 and most recently the addition of a separate garage apartment. Laurelrock exudes a casual, contemporary elegance that is enhanced by its delightful assurance of historic authenticity. The main house is constructed of native granite with masonry walls measuring up to eighteen inches in thickness as well as a large, modern kitchen, a sun-filled conservatory, a library, four/five bedrooms, a show stopping living room and updated systems. Great care was taken to maintain the historic character and workmanship of the pre-war architecture. Numerous outdoor living spaces, a beautiful flat and private yard along with a fenced in vegetable garden make this the perfect retreat. An added bonus is the newly finished garage apartment with a bright and airy living room, separate bedroom, kitchen and full bath. Perfect for working from home or for overnight guests. This special home is being offer for rent starting at the end of August.
