Unsold Real Estate for Addicts Only –
June 19, 2018 – In the woods of New Canaan, Connecticut, a one-hour drive from the skyscraper canyons of Manhattan, an elegant mansion has found new life as a “halfway house” for Wall Street executives recovering from alcoholism and drug addiction. Although, when it’s this exquisite, please call it a sober living residence.The New Canaan mansion was built in 2003 to look like a century-old Shingle-style home from America’s Gilded Age, with turrets and gables galore. Before it was leased as a recovery facility in January 2017, it had sat on the market for more than a year priced at $5 million with no takers.
