History and design meets beautifully at this New Canaan, Connecticut home, which was built in 1926 as a barn for keeping polo horses. The original building has been restored and square footage has been added to create the six bedroom, six bathroom stunner you see today. A lucky buyer can snag the abode for $2.495 million.The rustic style interiors stay true the 4,480-square-foot home’s roots, with reclaimed wooden beams taking center stage in many of the rooms. To make these architectural features as authentic as possible, the wood has been sourced from barns throughout New England so it’s difficult to decipher where the old house ends and the new structure begins. The perfect amount of modernity exists to give rooms such as the bright, white kitchen effortless sophistication and the highest level of functionality, too.Luxury is at its height in the master suite, where you can find a double-height ceiling, fireplace, and a blissful bathroom with a tin-lined copper tub. It doesn’t stray from the home’s charming style and includes wood beams throughout.Situated on 3.7 gorgeous acres of land, this residence has retained its pastoral feel through the extensive renovation. There are sprawling fields, groves of birch trees, and even a small pond where you can sit and unwind no matter the season.John Engel and Melissa H. Engel of Halstead have the exquisite listing, which Curbed first reported is for sale.
