Classic New Canaan colonial on quiet cul-de-sac
Location and style are what separate this 2016 classic colonial on Winfield Lane on the west side of New Canaan from the rest of the neighborhood. “The best features of this home are the location, style, and condition of the house. It’s like brand new and it looks like no one else has ever lived there,” said listing agent Susan O’Rourke of Brown, Harris, Stevens. “It has a beautiful flow and is very livable and everyone loves the floor plan and classic details.”
The home – which boasts 14 rooms and sits on 3.32 flat-level acres – has had several updates since the homeowners moved in five years ago. They include, O’Rourke said, all new designer lighting, a new stone wall across the front, and new electric gates. The home – which is on a cul-de-sac on sought-after Winfield Lane - has a basement, main level, second level, and walk-up unfinished third level. The bright walk-out basement with windows, O’Rourke said, could house the home’s sixth bedroom. There is also a full bath, gas fireplace, large recreation room, workout room, and gym.
To the left of the twostory foyer with curved staircase on the main level is the formal living room with gas/wood fireplace – one of five fireplaces in total in the house. French doors in the living room open to a large study with built-ins and another fireplace. The living room has three walls of windows. Adjacent to the living room are walk-though French doors that enter a large family room with coffered ceilings and a
large fireplace. To the right of the foyer, O’Rourke said, is the formal dining room and a formal butler's pantry with a wine refrigerator, glass cabinetry and dramatic gold wallpaper and tiled backsplash.
Then, enter the standout eat-in gourmet kitchen which features marble countertops and both a large island and peninsula. The island can seat six and the peninsula, O’Rourke said, can seat about four people. The kitchen also boasts double sinks and two dishwashers. There is a Viking range and a Sub-Zero refrigerator. There is also a built-in hutch with refrigerator doors and a large walk-in storage pantry. There is also a large eat-in area with French doors leading to the patio and overlooking the gracious yard.
The main level also has a nice-sized mudroom with radiant heated flooring. There is a separate office off the mudroom with a deck, built-ins, and half bath. The four-car heated garage is off the mudroom, which has access to the backyard.
The second level boasts the luxurious primary suite with fireplace. There is also a seating area and
“the most glamorous closet I’ve ever seen,” O’Rourke said. The master bath, she adds, has a cathedral ceiling, bath with soaking tub and large steam shower. There are also two separate vanities. This level has four other nice-sized bedrooms. All the bedrooms have en suite baths and walk-in closets. The second level is also home to the largewindowed laundry room.
