61 Briar Brae Rd, Stamford, CT 06903

Tucked away at the end of a long driveway and surrounded by an immaculately landscaped yard, this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath family home combines the rustic charm of a country escape with all the convenience of living just a 15-minute drive from downtown. A spacious foyer with elegantly designed hardwood floors greets you as you walk in, sitting directly between an open, sun-drenched dining area with a floor-to-ceiling window with views of the lush foliage, as well as a massive living room and family room, both of which boast beautiful stone fireplaces. Exposed wooden beams containing recessed lights run the length of the living room, enhancing the room’s cabin-like coziness. In the kitchen, you’ll find stainless steel appliances, gorgeous white cabinets, and wraparound countertops. On the other side of the first level, the master bedroom takes in a walk-in closet and its own private master bath. Three more bedrooms and another bathroom with twin sinks occupy the second level, along with access to a generous attic storage area. On the lower level, meanwhile, you’ll find tons of additional storage space in the gigantic basement—perfect for converting into a playroom, gym, or rec room—as well as the two-car garage, separate utility room, and a large laundry room with a sink. Outside, finally, you’ll enjoy access to a huge patio with stone pavers that sits under a classic wooden pergola with a stone wall separating the rest of the outdoor space.
