Main St.
Originally a 1911 manor home with an adjacent orchard, this gracious house is now a custom-renovated 21st-century marvel in downtown New Canaan, CT. One of the appeals of the house is its downtown location: it is conveniently located on historic Main Street within walking distance to New Canaan’s shops and businesses.
Before renovations started in 2010, it had just two owners in 100 years. The second owner bought the home in 1970 and built an addition for an office. When he retired, Country Club Homes, Inc. bought the house with the intention of retaining its charm while updating it for modern living.
This HOBI Award-winning home included replacing the 1070’s addition with a two-car garage and living space above it, finishing the third-floor attic space, and blending the original detailing of this stone and shingle home with new materials, fixtures, and mechanicals. It is energy efficient, equipped with the latest technology in insulation, air conditions, and – a rarity in New Canaan – gas heat.
