A Celeb-Loved Architect Designed This $11 Million Connecticut Home

Nestled in the heart of one of Connecticut’s wealthiest areas is a renovated home that now can be yours for $11.5 million.

Located along the leafy Aiken Road, this beautifully renovated mansion was first built in 1950 and thoughtfully renovated by celebrity-loved architect and interior designer Marmol Radziner from 2020 to 2024. The firm is known for working with A-list celebrities, including Bradley Cooper, Tom Ford, Ellen DeGeneres, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Anthony Kiedis, to name a few. The Los Angeles-based firm is known for their modern, yet organic approach to design, incorporating native landscaping and indoor-outdoor living whenever possible. The property spans 4.4 acres and spans 6,755 square feet with four bedrooms, four full bathrooms, and one half bathroom.

They renovated the home to connect with nature during all four seasons, be it through large windows, massive skylights, an organic color palette, or interior greenery. The home has a clean and relaxed aesthetic, featuring bespoke elements the firm is known for, like French oak flooring, lime plaster walls, and high-quality marble and stone. There’s a clean California-style aesthetic with light colors, gracious rooms, high ceilings, and oversized windows that flood the rooms with natural light. The home’s grand foyer has a custom circular overhead skylight.

Further inside the home is the sumptuous living room with arched French doors that frame the views of the reflection pool. It has a marble fireplace and a bar hidden behind sliding doors that are adorned with plant-inspired de Gournay wallpaper. Nearby is the custom chef’s kitchen with soapstone countertops, state-of-the-art appliances, and an eat-in kitchen island. Throughout the residence there are wide-plank floors and custom cabinetry. There’s also a light-filled breakfast nook opposite a pair of French doors that open to the backyard.

The entire home has a tranquil and serene vibe. Other rooms include a sunroom with a vaulted white-washed cedar ceiling, a gas fireplace, and recessed bookcases; a family room; den/library; office; mudroom; laundry room; and a powder room. The primary suite is situated on the main level and has two closets, a spa-like bathroom, two vanities, and a water closet. You access the upstairs via a sculptural curved staircase off of the foyer, which is awash in natural light due to the skylight. There are additional en suite bedrooms upstairs that overlook the lush backyard.

It would be hard to leave this property in the summer months. A 1920s pool house was transformed into a living/dining space in 2024. There’s also an abstract pool. The airy space has vaulted wood-beamed ceilings, a kitchenette with a copper sink and refrigerator drawers, and a full bathroom. There’s also a two-bedroom, two-story guest house at the back of the property that has a large living room, fireplace, a kitchen with a breakfast room, powder room, and two upstairs bedrooms with a full bathroom, and a quiet stone terrace.

There’s also a detached two-car garage next to the guest cottage. The property has lush landscaping and an outdoor water feature. The home is listed by Joanne Mancuso of Houlihan Lawrence’s Greenwich brokerage.
