A Mid-Century Architectural Gem in New Canaan Hits the Market for Just Under $4M

By Grace Cassidy An architectural masterpiece in the organic mid-century modern style has just come on the market for $3,995,000. Located at 22 Father Peters Lane in New Canaan, Conn. , the incredible 1981 retreat was designed by John Howe , who served as head draftsman for Frank Lloyd Wright for nearly 30 years. The property has been listed with Douglas Elliman agent Chau Ngo , a member of the Jennifer Leahy Team who previously represented the buyer of another Wright home in New Canaan, Tirranna House , which sold for $6 million earlier this year. Drawing inspiration from Wright’s emphasis on open spaces, floor-to-ceiling windows and natural shapes, Howe designed the interior to blend with the natural world outside. The home spans 7,154 square feet on nearly seven acres of land in a private cul-de-sac and includes four bedrooms and five and one-half bathrooms. Hemisphere glass windows are featured in the living room, while a grand dining room with double sliding glass doors opens to a Japanese-inspired garden and a stone patio with a fire pit. A private patio off the primary suite overlooks the backyard. Other features include two laundry rooms, a soundproof music studio on the main level and a loft area with an office and sitting room. Hardwood floors, stone details, skylights and an updated kitchen with stainless-steel appliances are all included, along with a wet bar and a second kitchen. The home is a short drive from the Country Club of New Canaan as well as the downtown area’s variety of shops, restaurants and entertainment venues.
