A special country home blending vintage architectural elements with modern design and comforts. This 1925 colonial farmhouse sits on nearly 3 sprawling acres of verdant grounds and venerable trees. Timeless elements include antique wide-plank oaks floors, exposed posts and beams, and 4 wood-burning fireplaces. The hub of the home is the re-imagined cook’s kitchen, with a custom center island and Danby marble counters, from Vermont. Appliances from Wolf, Samsung & Bosch compliment the room. The dazzling kitchen is anchored by a white-washed brick fireplace and a breakfast nook that peers out over the deck and luscious grounds. The fire-lit dining room and adjoining open-spaced living room allow for entertaining large gatherings, or just a romantic dinner for two. The main bedroom suite is on the first floor and is adjacent to a home office or den. The bedroom has a sky-lit dressing room and two lavish, “yours and mine” bathrooms. One bath has an oversized soaking tub and the other a steam stall shower. Each are finished with classic white marble tops. The second floor boasts two more en-suite bedrooms, one with it’s own sun-drenched deck. A cozy family room, with fireplace and wet bar, opens to an expansive great room, ideal for games, home-working, or media entertainment. A bonus is the rustic third floor, complete with a 4th bedroom, full bath, and loft with sky-lights, bringing in both sunlight and moon beams throughout the day...
... Additional amenities include; custom built-ins, a full sized laundry room, bead-board ceilings, wine closet, two new Trex composite decks, security system, generator, and a new propane furnace. Exterior features include; gated entry and a circular drive, front porch, brick terrace, organic vegetable garden, and plenty of room for a pool. Welcome to North Stamford
