1288 Rock Rimmon Rd, Stamford, CT 06903

This distinctive and architecturally stunning 3 bedroom, 2 and a half-bath family home is tucked away on a quiet street just a mile from Rockrimmon Country Club. The modern, one-of-a-kind, open layout takes in an impressive 4,100 square feet, with so much outdoor space that you’ll never have to worry about entertaining a crowd. Start with the front porch that leads to a foyer facing a pair of massive, tiered back deck areas, each with more than 300 square feet of space. A dining room and raised living room—both with high ceilings, tons of natural light, gorgeous tile work, and their own fireplaces—are just off the entryway. You’ll also find a huge kitchen with stainless steel appliances, elegant dark cabinets, granite countertops, a walk-around island, and another fireplace. A lofted area above the living room with hardwood floors is a godsend for families who like to play host, allowing plenty of extra space for guests to stretch out. Tucked away to one side of the house sits a large master bedroom that features its own, private master bathroom, two walk-in closets, another fireplace, and access to another deck. A two-car garage offers even more space for storage, and is located right on the other side of a pair of home offices, as well as a laundry room. On the opposite side of the home, there’s plenty of real estate for the kids to call their own, thanks to a 250-square-foot play area separated by a bathroom with a twin vanity.

On the lower level, meanwhile, there’s unlimited potential in the form of a 1,200-square-foot unfinished basement that can easily be converted into a rec room, workshop, home theater, or a gym. The relatively secluded lot—surrounded on nearly all sides by lush foliage and plenty of yard space—practically guarantees privacy, but when you’d prefer some company, downtown Stamford is just a 15-minute drive away.
