A rare opportunity to enjoy all that New Canaan has to offer while living in an historic mid-century modern masterpiece: The Elinor and Sherman Ford House. Located on 5.2 private, lush acres in desirable New Canaan, CT. This iconic residence, listed on the National Register of Historic Places (2010), is a pristine local example of Mid-Century Modern architecture designed in 1952-54 by the firm Gates and Ford. The sprawling property includes a period guesthouse and a pool house, all set within grounds meticulously designed by notable landscape architect Fride Stege in 1963. The main house is a striking low, single-story structure defined by its wood frame construction and a compelling combination of floor-to-ceiling glass, dark brown vertical board siding, and authentic fieldstone. The three-section layout masterfully balances light and privacy: the west wing features extensive glass to engage the outside living spaces and beautifully curated landscaping, while the east wing provides a more private retreat. Just minutes from the Metro North train station and the village of New Canaan with notable restaurants, shopping and entertainment.
