🔒Prominent CT entrepreneur puts North Haven estate on market for $2.4M

A custom Colonial home at 44 Canterbury Way in North Haven, complete with a two-story entry foyer, sweeping staircase and custom dressing room, has hit the market for $2.4 million.

The private Blue Hills estate features 7,228 square feet of living space. It is currently owned by Asam and Tariq Farid, the well-known founder of the Edible Arrangements brand.

Built in 2001, the single-family home underwent a significant expansion in 2010, which listing agent John M. Cuozzo Jr., of Hamden-based Press/Cuozzo Realtors, said blends seamlessly with the original construction.

The home, situated on 2.08 acres, is flanked by security gates leading to a circular driveway and covered portico at the entryway.

A double-door entrance leads into the main level living room, featuring a fireplace. The dining room, family room and large eat-in-kitchen with adjacent pantry and desk nook, each have access to a private bluestone patio and covered sitting area outside.

The home’s main level also features a library with a fireplace, great room and a southern-facing solarium capturing outside views of the property. There are hardwood floors throughout the two-story home.

A grand staircase leads to the second floor, which features five bedrooms and their own private baths, along with a master bedroom suite with a fireplace and balcony.

The home’s lower level features media and exercise rooms. There’s an oversized, four-car garage, as well.

“The owner doubled the size of the home in 2010, and (the expansion) was done so well by a Boston architect, you would never know it; it was a totally seamless and beautiful addition,” said Cuozzo.

The home hit the market in mid-October and Cuozzo said he has shown it several times.

Cuozzo noted another benefit to the home is that it sits on a quiet cul-de-sac, and has easy access to the Merritt Parkway and Interstate 91.

The town of North Haven’s most recent appraisal valued the property at $1.25 million.
