    What's special

    Tucked away on a desirable cul-de-sac within walking distance from downtown New Canaan, this beautifully maintained 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home includes a separate-entrance legal accessory apartment, offering excellent rental income potential-estimated at up to $4,000 per month. This Cape brings space, style, and flexibility while in a prime location. The house 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. The accessory apartment 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. Convenient to the Merritt Parkway and walking distance to the Metro North stations, Waveny Park, the YMCA, award-winning schools, and all the dining, shopping, and charm of downtown New Canaan.
