828 Silvermine Road , New Canaan, CT 06840(Fairfield County)

Gracious 1920s Charleston style white washed brick home, with wrought iron detailing set on a beautiful site in historic Silvermine in New Canaan. This house was known in the day as The Beeches, so called for the three enormous copper beech trees that anchor the property. Winston Churchill dined here as the guest of Bernard Baruch, the New York financier. Baruch built this home for his beautiful private secretary Mary Ball. She often entertained for him, hosting lavish parties in this spectacular home. The stunning recently remodeled kitchen has white marble counters, a Wolf 8 burner gas range, Miele dishwasher and SubZero refrigerator. The three full baths have all been redone with marble and high end fixtures. The home has multiple work from home spaces including a private upstairs office off the master bedroom suite. A separate family room, office, guest suite or mother in law apartment extends off the side of the house. Both the living room and the dining room are large and welcoming. The library is the perfect room for summers with walls of windows on three sides, all recent replacements. The home features a gorgeous master suite, with a huge vaulted ceiling bedroom. The yard features new stone and brick patios and walkways, created to blend in with the home. It is bounded on three sides by beautiful old stone walls. There is a site for a pool, if someone wants to add one. Walking distance to Silvermine Market, Silvermine Art Center and the Tarern at Graybarns.
