16 Orchard Lane

New Canaan, CT 06840

Custom construction meets effortless in-town living at 16 Orchard Lane, a 2019 HOBI Award winner for Best In-Town Custom Home. Built by acclaimed New Canaan builder RR Builders, the residence reflects a level of craftsmanship and consideration evident throughout, from the architectural detailing and carefully selected materials to the integrated systems and sophisticated mechanicals. A gracious entry introduces interiors defined by soaring ceilings, oversized windows and abundant natural light. Wide-plank white oak floors, custom cabinetry and substantial architectural detailing bring warmth and character, while generously scaled rooms and an easy, connected flow allow the home to feel both substantial and comfortable. At the heart of the home, the chef's kitchen features custom cabinetry, premium appliances and an oversized gathering island, opening naturally to the family room, dining area and rear porch. A generous pantry, functional back hall and extensive built-in storage bring organization and purpose to everyday living. Four finished levels provide exceptional flexibility. The primary suite features a dramatic vaulted ceiling and three exposures, complemented by a generous walk-in closet and bath with radiant heat, steam shower and soaking tub. The finished third floor offers additional airy, flexible space, while oversized windows bring unexpected natural light to the lower level, with recreation space and a dedicated gym. Outdoor living is a natural extension of the home, with professionally landscaped grounds framing a private, level rear yard with a terrace, built-in grill, outdoor fireplace and pergola. Sophisticated mechanicals and infrastructure reflect the level of planning behind the home, with efficiency, comfort and ease of living central to its design. European heating and cooling, a whole-house generator, integrated Crestron controls, motorized shades and a motorized screened porch are among the systems that carry that thinking beyond the home's architecture and interiors. Set on a quiet in-town cul-de-sac with easy access to downtown New Canaan, the train, schools and parks, 16 Orchard Lane offers an increasingly rare combination of award-winning custom construction and true in-town convenience.
