2.3 acres near the end of a prime cul-de-sac close to New Canaan's idyllic town center is the peaceful setting for this much-loved Colonial with a swimming pool. Atop a gently knoll, the spacious house enjoys great sunlight and tranquil views. This is an excellent investment opportunity. Savvy buyers will immediately recognize the potential to update and remodel the existing home, or to bring their own vision and use this property as a blank canvas for the construction of a new dream home. The interior is comprised of well-proportioned rooms in a gracious layout. The foyer with powder room opens to a front-to-back living room with a fireplace and access to a screened-in porch as well as the formal dining room - both of these spaces have generous spans of windows and are filled with sunshine. Tucked privately into the corner is a cozy library or home office with the second fireplace and nice views. The eat-in kitchen has an adjacent den with sliding doors to the outside - consider opening & combining these two rooms and creating a larger entertaining-sized kitchen as part of the potential upgrades to this home. Off the kitchen is a family room with two exposures and a 5th bedroom with full bath, which contributes to the flexibility of the layout. The second floor has four generous bedrooms, each in a corner with windows on two sides, including the master suite which has a walk-in closet and full bath. 2nd flr laundry room. Full basement, 2 car garage. Heated pool.
