The Seely House is a rare opportunity to become the next steward of one of New Canaan's enduring historic treasures. This remarkable residence traces its origins to the years surrounding the American Revolution and stands as a tangible link to the town's earliest beginnings. Rich in character and architectural authenticity, the home showcases the craftmanship and charm that can only be achieved through centuries of careful preservation. Historic details blend seamlessly with modern comforts, creating a warm and inviting living experience that honors the home's heritage while accommodating today's lifestyle. Set along picturesque Old Stamford Rd., the property enjoys an enviable location just moments from downtown New Canaan's acclaimed restaurants, boutiques, parks, train station and schools. Here, homeowners can enjoy the rare combination of historic significance and close-to-town/schools convenience. More than a residence, The Seely House has a legally permitted professional office that is currently used by a doctor. The roof was replaced in July 2026.
