In New Canaan, a stunning estate tucked into its own realm of privacy has clinched a new title. Overlooking the serene John D. Milne Lake, the Connecticut home has become the town’s second highest sale of 2022 so far after closing for $7.6 million. Originally asking $6.695 million, shingle-style manor pulled off quite the feat.
Designed by architect Mark Finlay and brought to life by Hobbs Inc., the 1995 home is a classic Connecticut property. Sitting in the north side of town on North Wilton Road, the home is only minutes from downtown, while just a close drive to the New York border and Pound Ridge.
Almost 10,500 square feet and atop six acres, the estate is one of the only New Canaan properties offering a semblance of waterfront living. The home’s exterior is defined by its striking angles and rounded tower, while the inside is filled with sweeping traditional spaces. The entrance is grand, almost mimicking the feeling one gets stepping into a ballroom. The first floor receives stunning light and beautiful views, certainly ideal for year-round New England living.
Offering six bedrooms, seven full bathrooms, two half bathrooms and unique spaces like a solarium and mahogany office, the home is made for every whim and need. It offers a pool and beautiful terrace as well, perfect for taking in the picturesque scenery.
John and Melissa Engel of Douglas Elliman sealed the deal.
