$6.95M New Canaan, Conn.

New Canaan, Conn. — an affluent town some 50 miles from midtown Manhattan — is known for its stock of modern homes designed by the Harvard Five architects. Now, a lucky buyer can call this 6,275-square-foot manse, a property at 81 Cross Ridge Rd. that was designed by one of these architects, home. The Brown House, originally a single-level mid-century-modern home crafted by Eliot Noyes, saw a second-story addition in 2003 in accordance with the architect’s original vision. It boasts five bedrooms, five bathrooms and a halfbath. Additional touches include spacious entertaining areas and a chef ’s kitchen lit by natural light that floods in through large windows. A pool and pool house complete the package. Agents: Fatou Niang and Inger Stringfellow, William Pitt / Julia B. Fee Sotheby’s International Realty, 212-961-7428 and 203-321-9361
