Double gates glide open to beckon you down a winding drive revealing this special historical residence. Set in coveted North Stamford, this 5-bedroom, 5.5 bath home combines artisanal craftsmanship with modern appeal. Originally built in 1792, its professional restorations maintain authenticity while newer construction offers numerous options for current lifestyles. From the moment you arrive, the property feels like a hidden retreat. Hand-laid stone walls, mature trees, vibrant gardens and expansive lawns create an enchanted setting. Inside, the home's layout unfolds naturally. A breathtaking great room with an impressive fireplace, hand-crafted millwork, custom built-ins, and soaring 12 ft. ceiling flows through French doors to a light-filled sunroom and on into the timber-framed dining room with its own fireplace...perfect for entertaining. The kitchen and adjacent breakfast room support easy daily living with views and access to surrounding gardens and delightful al fresco eating spaces. A thoughtfully designed (2013) extension complete with a spacious family room, kitchenette, office, 2 bedrooms and baths provide flexibility for extended family, guests, exercise room or playroom. Outdoors, the setting is peaceful and secluded. Lush plantings surround the home, offering total privacy. A hilltop pool and screened, eat-in pool cabin create a special destination.
With its elevated view of the nearly 2-acre parcel, the adjacent forest, the 4,022 sq ft home, the three-car garage and single stall barn, this property inspires year-round fun. Historic details speak to the home's extraordinary heritage while carefully thought-out updates provide the modern comfort and convenience expected today. It is that rare balance that makes 297 Rock Rimmon Rd. truly a one-of-a-kind home.
North Stamford, located between the Merritt Parkway and the New York state line, is a wooded and residential Stamford neighborhood with winding back roads and broad conservation land. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the High Ridge Road and Long Ridge Road corridor, where farm stands, equestrian facilities, and low-key local shops set a country-leaning rhythm. The Bartlett Arboretum & Gardens anchors the landscape with trails and curated plant collections. Stamford Museum & Nature Center adds a cultural counterpoint with galleries, a working farm, and outdoor programs. Housing trends toward larger colonials and contemporaries set on deep lots, with stone walls and mature trees shaping the streetscape. Hiking loops and reservoir edges define weekends, while the drive into downtown Stamford stays firmly in the background.
