An icon of American modernism, the celebrated Celanese House presents a rare opportunity to own one of New Canaan's most architecturally significant residences. Designed in 1959 by acclaimed architect Edward Durell Stone, this internationally recognized masterpiece has been admired for decades for its timeless design. Meticulously restored to honor Stone's original vision while embracing contemporary living, the home showcases his signature architectural vocabulary-from the striking lattice facade and sculptural glass roof pyramids to soaring walls of glass that dissolve the boundary between indoors and out. Light becomes an architectural element, filling every space and transforming the home throughout the day. Nearly 5,000 square feet of thoughtfully curated living space blend historic integrity with refined modern luxury. Satin-bleached oak floors, floating walls, museum-quality lighting and a dramatic illuminated glass entry create interiors that feel simultaneously iconic and effortlessly livable. Four bedrooms, four-and-a-half baths and beautifully proportioned entertaining spaces provide exceptional comfort without compromising the purity of the original design. Set on 2.06 private acres along a distinguished road, the landscape complements the architecture with tranquil views and remarkable privacy. More than a residence, the Celanese House is an enduring work of architecture-offering the privilege of becoming the next steward of a true design landmark.
