    What's special

    This is an incredible home located on a beautifully manicured property just south of New Canaan downtown. The house has been meticulously maintained and cared for with newer HVAC system, and roofing. The property is professionally landscaped with great curb appeal accentuated by stone walls in the front and back of the home, and a picture-perfect front porch that spans the full length of the home. A sizable two-car garage leads to a finished lower-level Den that opens to the backyard and a nicely appointed stone patio. The main level has hardwood floors throughout, an updated kitchen with plenty of storage and a walk-out to a carefully placed covered deck providing a very nice grilling space. The living room has a wood-burning fireplace and a very warm and inviting space to welcome guests. The upstairs offers a unique floor plan that was created for the wants and needs of the current owner. The first bedroom is a considerable size next to the hall bath. The primary bedroom incorporated a small bedroom from the original floor plan to provide a large walk-in closet along with an en-suite bathroom. The third bedroom/office has been utilized as an office but could easily be converted back to a formal bedroom. This property offers tremendous value for the next owner with solid bones and functional and aesthetically pleasing space inside and out. This is an incredible price point for New Canaan and is priced to sell. Viewing opportunites from 11am-4pm Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
