New Canaan, Conn. (January 8, 2024) — William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty announced today the closing of the highest residential real estate sale of 2023 in New Canaan, Conn. 488 West Road, a French Normandy-style estate designed by award-winning New Classicist architect Dinyar Wadia, sold in December for $7,550,000. The record sale was handled by agents Robert Blosio of the firm’s New Canaan brokerage and Karen Sheftell of the Stamford brokerage.
Featuring interior furnishings by Ralph Lauren, the eight-bedroom, 10-bath home boasts more than 16,000 square feet of living space with coffered ceilings, a dramatic two-story staircase, a custom library, a chef’s kitchen and butler’s pantry as well as a lavish primary suite with sitting room, fireplace, two dressing rooms and custom bath.
Built in 2014, the home’s exterior is adorned with a deeply pitched slate roof, brick with limestone quoins, oak timbers, diamond-patterned lead glass windows and detailed chimneys. The property includes a custom treehouse, saltwater pool, spa, pool house, tennis/sport court, post and beam ivy-covered patio, and stone terrace with fire pit.
“This estate is one of the most impressive in New Canaan,” said Blosio and Sheftell. “Driving down the private lane through stone pillars to the home, you can feel the allure of grandeur that the property offers.”
In addition to its designer cachet, the home has all the luxury amenities for today’s modern homebuyer, including top-of-the-line utilities, geothermal heating, a four-floor elevator and a full-house backup generator.
“We are thrilled to have the highest sale in New Canaan this year,” they added. “This accomplishment truly highlights the strength of the Sotheby’s International Realty brand in our region.”
