The complete renovation and remodeling with extensive additions to this spectacular 1903 New Canaan’s single style home was recently finished and it now exudes elegance with an easy approach.

Originally designed by E.T. Hapgood, the home was gutted to the studs of exterior walls and the additions from the 80’s were demolished.  A new interior layout was introduced for all floors except the historical core (foyer, dining room and living room). The size of the house doubled in the course of the project, from 4500sf to 9000sf.

Architectural design is by Pivko Designs. Built by: Praxis Home Builders.
