Stunning custom design, sweeping water vistas and supreme privacy define this extraordinary estate overlooking sparkling John D. Milne Lake. Designed by esteemed architect Mark Finlay and crafted by award-winning Hobbs Inc. "Lakeview" is graced with endless amenities. The property impresses with the sheer beauty of the gated grounds complete with sweeping terraces and a heated pool, and the impressive Shingle Style manor accented with trademark towers, eyebrow windows and fieldstone. Countless highlights include a 2-story entrance hall with a regal staircase, exquisite formal rooms, a stunning kitchen with a breakfast room, a 2-story family room, a solarium, and mahogany office. All the main rooms embrace the water views and open directly to the terrace and pool. Equally memorable is the view-filled primary suite, 5 ensuite bedrooms, a finished lower level with a temperature-controlled wine room and multiple recreation spaces, and a 3-car heated garage. Close to town and train, this unique and private waterfront manor represents the very best that New Canaan has to offer.
