176 Carter Street is a rare retreat tucked down a quiet lane on nearly two park-like acres surrounded by mature specimen trees, perennial gardens, and sweeping open lawns. Peaceful and picturesque, this bucolic setting offers exceptional privacy without ever feeling remote. Thoughtfully improved throughout, the light-filled Gambrel Colonial flows across three finished levels. Light pours through oversized windows across gracious main rooms - a spacious living room with fireplace, lacquered office with custom built-ins, generous dining room, and updated chef's kitchen with bay window overlooking the breathtaking grounds. A first-floor bedroom and full bath are perfect for guests or a private suite. Upstairs, five serene bedrooms include a beautifully updated primary suite, three additional full baths, and a flexible bonus room currently used as a playroom.The walk-out lower level, complete with fireplace and wet bar, opens through a sweeping wall of French doors to a private ivy-covered stone patio, where evenings unfold around the fire pit under open skies. Outside, a spectacular heated pool and sprawling lawn create the perfect backdrop for entertaining. A charming barn sparks endless possibility, while a full-house generator and detached two-car garage add everyday practicality. The property also offers exceptional potential for future expansion or reimagination. Ideally located just minutes to downtown New Canaan, train, top-rated schools, and the Merritt Parkway
