Our Take

85 Clearview Lane in New Canaan is a five-bedroom home within the original Woolworth Estate, set on more than three acres. A 2019 renovation converted the first-floor theater into a Trackman Golf Studio and remodeled the kitchen, which has floor-to-ceiling windows, Viking, Wolf, and Sub-Zero appliances, marble countertops and backsplash, a pot filler, and under-cabinet lighting. The property also includes a reconfigured master suite, full-home Control4 automation, a rear patio, a putting green, sand trap, and Victorian two-story playhouse.

Welcome to this exquisite home nestled within the highly sought-after enclave of the original Woolworth Estate. This stunning 5 bedroom, 5 full and 2 half bath home on 3+ acres has undergone a series of meticulous renovations and updates, ensuring it epitomizes modern luxury and comfort. A game-changing 2019 renovation included converting the first-floor theater into the Trackman Golf Studio and a complete kitchen remodel. The kitchen with its floor-to-ceiling windows is a chef's dream, featuring Viking, Wolf, and Sub-zero appliances, marble countertops and backsplash, and thoughtful details like a pot filler and under-cabinet lighting. Upgraded lighting fixtures illuminate the entire house, complemented by full home automation using Control 4, covering everything from audio and video distribution to lighting and thermostats. The master suite was fully reconfigured with a cathedral ceiling, fireplace, top-of-the-line bathroom fixtures, heated floor, marble tile and a soaking tub. California closets were installed in the dressing room. The exterior was refreshed with a new rear patio, and mechanical systems, including HVAC compressors, air handlers, furnace, humidifier, and thermostats, were replaced. New driveway and front walkway, garage floor upgrade with speckled epoxy flooring, and an extra-long bay for oversized vehicles. Don’t overlook the putting green, sand trap and Victorian 2 story playhouse. There is something for everyone!
