About the Home

Connecticut country compound (main house + cottage) close to Greenwich border sited atop 2.98 park-like acres in sought-after North Stamford neighborhood. Main house: 1930s country Cape combines vintage architectural charm w/layout & functionality for today. Sun-filled, grand f-t-b living rm (frplc/built-ins/wall of windows overlooking backyard) & formal dining rm are timeless spaces - easy to envision the holidays w/those near & dear. Well-equipped EIK w/granite, stainless, gas cooking, dbl-ovens & bfast area w/panoramic backyard views thru dbl sliders opens to family rm w/frplc & built-ins - the perfect cozy & comfortable place in which to relax & unwind. Proper MBR suite w/vltd clngs, sitting rm, 5 closets (1 w-in), modern FBA & conveniently connected office. Another BR w/FBA & exterior access serves well as guest/in-law/au-pair/private office. Upstairs, 2 BRs & gorgeous modernized FBA. C/A, newer siding & windows & plenty of storage! Outside: greenspace galore accented w/mature trees & stone walls/walkways/patios/outcroppings. Guest cottage: cleverly positioned away from main house w/living rm (soaring clngs/deck), EIK, BR, FBA & parking. Drawn to the outdoors or an equestrian at heart? Enjoy hiking & riding thru hundreds of acres of surrounding preserves (Greenwich Riding Trails/Mianus /Altschul/more). Countryside setting solidified by an abundance of stables & paddocks found at nearby estates & horse farms, yet just over 2mi to market & Merritt & only 40mi to Manhattan.
