Description

Part of the Alexandra Subdivision established in 1965, this distinctive North Stamford residence incorporates a c.1850 barn structure, with the majority of the home constructed in 1965 and a dramatic great room addition completed in 2004. Quietly set back from the road on a private, wooded acre, this unique property offers a rare blend of history, architecture, and modern comfort less than an hour from Manhattan. The formal living room is the soul of the home, occupying the original c.1850 barn structure where local history suggests artisans may have gathered for basket weaving. Original hand-hewn beams overhead and sliders opening to the deck and serene pond make it an extraordinary space. The sunken great room commands panoramic views with a vaulted ceiling and abundant natural light, while wide-plank wood floors run throughout. Soaring walls of gallery-worthy space make this a dream for the serious art collector. The kitchen features exceptional-quality wood cabinetry by Executive Kitchens Fine European Cabinetry. Four bedrooms, including two ideally suited as a home office and private studio, 2.5 baths, and an attached two-car garage provide every comfort needed. An intimate loft with built-ins overlooks the living room below, adding a layer of architectural charm, perfect as a reading retreat or creative perch. It feels like a weekend escape. A piece of living history reimagined for modern life, rare, special, and one of a kind.
