Our Take

180 Summer Street is a 1910 stone colonial in downtown New Canaan, set on nearly half an acre of landscaped grounds. The main level includes living and dining rooms, an open-concept kitchen, a family room with glass doors to secluded patio areas, and a full bath. The second floor has a primary suite with full bath and two additional bedrooms, while the third floor can serve as sleeping or office space. Some areas have been updated and maintained, while others may benefit from renovation; the home is being sold as is.
