93 Louises Lane

New Canaan, CT 06840

Welcome to this remarkable and truly unique Hamptons Alternative. 93 Louises Lane is an experience to behold as one of the stars of New Canaans famed mid-century moderns. Also known as Villa Ponte or the Bridge House, this iconic home was designed in 1956 by John Johansen, one of the famous Harvard Five architects. Since then, the home has only had one other owner - who has lovingly and painstakingly renovated and restored the home to its full glory while respecting the original intention of the architect. 93 Louises Lane offers the best of everything: Easy and sprawling one-floor living within four Pavilions whimsically denoted by etchings carved into the stucco walls. The showstopper is in the heart of the home - the bridge over the river connecting the various pavilions - which boasts a gold-leafed vaulted barrel ceiling, floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors which open completely onto the plate-glass balcony fronts revealing your own private oasis and sanctuary. The property is gated and surrounded by stone walls with the house privately sited and approached by a long driveway lined with Linden trees. The naturalistic pool beside the river has multiple patio areas for lounging and entertaining and overlooks the terraced lawns which are accessed by wooden bridges. Offered at $100,000 for the month of August but owner would be happy to entertain a July-August rental offer. ---
