About This Home

Hidden away at the end of a coveted West Side cul-de-sac, 48 Driftway Lane is a private estate tucked among the winding back roads of New Canaan. Perched atop 1.62 beautifully landscaped acres and surrounded by nature, the setting offers a rare sense of peace and privacy, yet remains just minutes from downtown New Canaan and approximately one hour from New York City. Newly constructed from the ground up in 2017 and offering over 10,000 square feet of thoughtfully curated living space, the home unfolds through a series of light-filled rooms where architectural detail, craftsmanship, and connection take center stage. A grand central foyer showcases a statement staircase framed by glass railings, creating a stunning focal point from the moment you enter. At the heart of the home, a sunlit gathering space serves as the natural connection point between the designer kitchen, soaring two-story family room, and outdoor living spaces beyond. Anchored by a stunning 10-foot quartzite waterfall island and matching custom quartzite hood, the kitchen balances beauty and function with Thermador appliances, Sub-Zero refrigeration and wine storage, custom cabinetry, and a walk-in pantry. The dramatic family room draws the eye upward with soaring ceilings, extensive architectural detailing, automated Lutron shades, and walls of windows that flood the space with natural light.
