Grand Scale Living on 4.5 Acres by Renowned Designers Diamond and Baratta

New Canaan, Connecticut – Set atop the crest of a ridge on 4.5 open acres, Grand Stone and Shingle Estate makes an immediate impact with its breezy elegance and beautifully proportioned living space. This elegant home, with more than 10,000 square feet on four levels and two wings, is marketed by Christie’s International Real Estate and its exclusive affiliate Barbara Cleary’s Realty Guild for $9.5 million.

With classical architectural elegance and eye-catching interiors by renowned designers William Diamond and Anthony Baratta, this spirited home embodies stylish living at its very best. Lacquered double doors lead to the entry hall, welcoming visitors to a world of gracious rooms bathed in natural light.

Spacious formal and informal rooms lead seamlessly to outdoor spaces and porches overlooking this sweeping property. Four floors and two wings include family rooms on each floor, a distinctive master suite, and beautiful open hallways offering space and privacy between six additional en suite bedrooms.

There are seven bedrooms, nine full baths, seven fireplaces, a four-car garage and a large house generator. A covered exterior porch with fireplace serves as an outdoor room surrounded by stone terraces and gardens, a large heated pool, spa, and a grilling station.

The large kitchen is a chef's paradise with double islands and every amenity at one's fingertips. This gathering place holds a crowd and makes entertaining fun. The 3,000 sq. ft. finished lower level is a complete entertainment center that includes a kitchen, billiard room, family room, exercise room with sauna, and wood paneled home theatre.

“This estate exemplifies grand architectural, elegant interior design and beautiful living,” says Kathleen Coumou, Christie’s International Real Estate Senior Vice President of the Northeast Region. “This extraordinary property is the pinnacle of Connecticut living, located in one of the most sough-after towns in the state.”

“We’re thrilled to represent such an incredible property,” said Leslie Razook, listing broker with Barbara Cleary’s Realty Guild. “The home’s wonderful setting affords an ideal opportunity to find comfort and relaxation in the wonderful town of New Canaan.”
