"The Manor of Sweet Briar", built in 1910, is one of the most magnificent properties in Stamford and truly a one-of-a-kind estate that has been home to six extraordinary families. This 20th Century Revival, complete with 7 bedrooms, and 7 bathrooms, offers stunning old-world charm and exquisite noteworthy architectural elements. The exceptional quality construction combined with recent renovations provides the conveniences for today's modern living. With its porte-cochere, circular drive, and 1.7 beautiful, park-like acres, the approach to the house makes for an impressive arrival. Upon entry, guests are greeted by the spacious foyer, stunning staircase, and French doors leading to the elegant, formal dining room and stately living room. There are many beautiful details throughout the home - 5 unique fireplaces, extensive millwork, original wavy glass windows, a G.M. Ketcham brass shower door...and so many more that make this home a treasure to explore and own. One can feel the warmth and quality in every corner! The outside stone patio overlooking the gardens, red clay tennis court, and an enclosed vegetable garden allow one to relax and unwind. With plenty of natural light, soaring ceilings, exceptional stonework, and exposed wood beams, this home is exquisite and reminiscent of Jackie Kennedy's summer home Lasata in East Hampton. It will be an honor to be the next steward of this estate.
