929 Weed St, New Canaan, CT 06840

Designed in 1963 by brutalist architect Ulrich Franzen, the Dana House is one of the iconic New Canaan mid-century moderns. Once home to an apple orchard, the 3-acre property includes meadows, mature evergreens, and five large, old apple trees, visible from the wall-to-wall glass dining and living spaces. With 5 bedrooms and 4.5 baths, the 5,600 square foot pavilion home features five brick towers, situated asymmetrically around a light-filled central living space. Hemlock ceilings and slate stone floors run seamlessly from interior to exterior spaces; skylights, hardware, and other heritage details are original to the house, including St. Charles cabinets. Occupied for more than 50 years by the family that commissioned its design, the Dana House changed hands for the first time in 2015.
