Professionally landscaped grounds designed for outdoor enjoyment, level lawn areas, and mature trees provide natural privacy. An attached 2-car garage offers exceptional storage and convenience, and an additional freestanding 2 car garage with stairs to an enormous floored upper level opens endless possibilities. Located minutes from New Canaan's village center, this tranquil setting combines privacy with the ease of town amenities.
