Experience Architectural History: The Celebrated Celanese House. This is your chance to own a true masterpiece. Designed in 1959 by visionary architect Edward Durell Stone, the Celanese House is one of New Canaan's most celebrated mid-century modern landmarks-an architectural treasure admired by design publications for decades. Stone's signature elements remain unmistakable: the striking lattice screen facade and distinctive glass roof pyramids create an iconic silhouette that endures. Inside, the home's recent renovation both preserves Stone's vision and introduces contemporary luxury. Floating sheet rock walls, satin-bleached oak floors, and walls of glass heighten the sense of openness, while state-of-the-art lighting transforms every space into an artful composition
