Modern History

RURAL RETREAT
Located on just over four acres along North Wilton Road, this renovated Colonial has five bedrooms. The property is also home to a carriage house with two bedrooms, three barns and a pool with flagstone terrace that overlooks a meadow.

COOL CHARACTER
Built in 1870, the house was a working farm owned by a prominent New Canaan family. Subsequent homeowners included actor Bob Smith of Howdy Doody. Renovations have preserved the integrity historic features, such as the wide-plank floors in the living and dining rooms, and the three original fireplaces. And because the rooms are large and ceilings high, there’s no “old house” feeling here.

PRICE: $2,995,000, William Pitt Sotheby’s, (203) 966-2633.
