174 Ridgecrest Rd, Stamford, CT 06903

This luxurious 5-bedroom, 4.5-bath family home set at the foot of a wide, quiet driveway perfectly balances upscale, modern design with classic architectural features. The property, which takes in a sweeping 3,670 square feet of living space, sits on a beautifully landscaped plot surrounded by lush foliage that includes a private tennis court and a pair of garages with room for four cars, as well as two second-story bonus rooms—both larger than 450 square feet—with high, vaulted ceilings. A stunning, resort-like back patio overlooks a massive pool and hot tub framed by gorgeous stonework. Inside, the amenities grow even more lavish, with gleaming, polished hardwood floors that run throughout the entire open dining room and family room, which is anchored by a massive fireplace with a stone wall, wood storage alcove, and an antique, hand-hewn barn beam mantle. The living room, tucked away in the rear of the house, offers you prime views of the surrounding countryside.

Come summer, it’s easy to imagine the family congregating in the beautifully designed kitchen, complete with twin ovens, modern stainless steel appliances, long granite countertops, classic white cabinetry, and striking views of the pool and back patio area. Upstairs, you’ll find all five bedrooms, including a nearly 270-square-foot master bedroom with its own fireplace, vaulted ceilings, skylight, walk-in closet, and private master bathroom with a walk-in shower and a separate soaking tub with views of the backyard. When you need to unwind, you can retreat to the 625-square-foot recreational area in the finished basement, which has an adjacent wine cellar and more than 1,300 feet of storage space with unlimited potential to convert into a workshop or a play room.
