About This Home
Private New Canaan Oasis: Bespoke Luxury can be found in this modern version of a traditional centerhall colonial in prestigious New Canaan's West School district. This custom-built Lukes Wood estate underwent a spectacular renovation by Award-winning RR Builders, updating the sophisticated main residence to over 7,000 square feet of turnkey luxury. The expansive floor plan boasts 6 generously appointed bedrooms - each featuring an ensuite bath and walk-in closet alongside elegant formal living and dining rooms, a private office, a wine cellar, a butler's pantry, and a finished walk-out lower level with a full bath. At the heart of the home, a fully appointed chef's kitchen with a double island and professional-grade appliances flows into a sun-drenched breakfast room and a magnificent great room, which showcases a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, cathedral ceilings, and rustic beams. French doors transition seamlessly to an outdoor sanctuary featuring a 45' x 22' heated gunite pool, an expansive terrace, a pavilion with a firepit, private walking trails, plus a custom-built barn that offers additional space for cars, equipment, a gym, art studio, or large office space delivering an unparalleled, ultra-private retreat close to New Canaan's top-tier schools and vibrant community.
