This attractive New Canaan property features a patio divided into two outdoor rooms, each defined by its own pergola. The first is a custom outdoor kitchen with a dining area, the second, an inviting living space with a wood burning fireplace (with a gas starter) as the focal point. The outdoor rooms complement and extend the feel and the flow of the interior space, tying the property together as a whole. The patio walls and stone veneer on the house are built from native Connecticut fieldstone, and a gravel pathway leading to the backyard is filled with colorful plants like boxwoods, lavender and knock out roses. An enclosed vegetable garden maintains a charming rural feel, producing fresh, organic veggies in the warmer months.
