2063 Long Ridge Rd, Stamford, CT 06903

Set in the middle of a private, beautifully landscaped plot surrounded by tall trees and just footsteps from a gazebo and a Zen-like pond, this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath Colonial-style home gives you the illusion of escaping into the wilderness despite being just a 15-minute drive from downtown Stamford. Designed for a family that likes to play host, the first floor layout alone takes in a huge, welcoming foyer that sits adjacent to a large family room and dining room with beautiful hardwood floors running throughout. A showstopper of a kitchen, complete with stainless steel appliances, a double-door fridge, and a gleaming white island countertop, sits at the heart of the floorplan, located directly across from a completely enclosed home office, and a 500-square-foot living room with a fireplace. Outside, the sprawling deck--ideal for setting up a firepit and a grill while enjoying the surroundings--is the perfect spot to unwind at the end of the day. Upstairs, you'll find all four bedrooms, including a spacious master bedroom with a private master bath and a walk-in wardrobe. A separate guest bathroom sits just outside. On the lower level, meanwhile, you're guaranteed plenty of storage and more space to decompress, thanks to a two-car garage, a laundry room with an attached pantry, and a massive den with unlimited potential as a rec room, home theater, workshop, or play area.
