House buy in New Canaan Connecticut

Orchard's End, built-in 1929 during The Great Estate era, this brick and limestone country retreat is an example of beautiful architecture in a grand manner. Designed by New York architect William B. Tubby, his outstanding designs include Waveny House in New Canaan, Dunnellen Hall in Greenwich, and the William H. Childs House in Brooklyn. Beginning in 2014, the current owners retained world-renowned architect Dinyar Wadia to embark on a 3-year 6 million dollar renovation perfecting the already expansive 10,000 square foot addition completed by the previous owners. Not only was the main residence improved and expanded upon a brand new 4-bedroom guest house, along with a custom-designed 5,000 square foot wellness center, a custom pool with spa and new terraces transformed Orchard's End Estate into a true masterpiece. In a recent interview with Dinyar, he stated he believes in today's market this estate would cost more than 25 million dollars to replicate the main house alone, excluding land costs, the new 5,000 square foot wellness center, and fully renovated guest house. The main residence extension includes a new kitchen, great room, outdoor courtyard, and study. Inspiring the great room was Castle Duart, located on the Isle of Mull, featured in the 1999 movie Entrapment, in which Sean Connery and Catherina Zeta-Jones, playing art thieves, practice their moves for a high-tech heist.
