TUCKED AWAY TREASURE!  Nestled on a private North Stamford road, this delightful ranch is a true New England gem!  It features a covered porch and level yard at front and glorious grounds at back complete with a refreshing pool.  The interiors offer an equal amount of style and country charm ... and a Great Room that truly lives up to its name!  With its vaulted beamed ceiling with two-skylights, this Great Room is spacious enough to house the open living and dining rooms.  Hardwood floor, large picture window, built-in niches, cooling ceiling fan and soaring brick wall with raised hearth fireplace add character to this terrific space.  The eat-in kitchen with hardwood floor has abundant wood cabinetry, updated appliances including stainless wall oven, microwave and dishwasher, recessed lighting, large window over the sink with great property views, and plenty of counter space including a breakfast bar penisula.  The casual dining area with casement windows leads to the splendid outdoor setting at back … a perfect hideaway for relaxing and entertaining.  There you’ll find a covered porch area with steps down to a sunny open patio, lovely pool surrounded by pretty plantings, lawns, and mature trees for shade and privacy, even a sweet storage/pool shed.  Back inside there is an elegant spa bathroom with fine tile work, pedestal sink, double whirlpool tub and shower.  There are three bedrooms, including large master bedroom with crown molding, double closet, and private bathroom; one of the other bedrooms has exposed hardwood floor and a double closet, one is carpeted with a large window.  There is hardwood under the carpet in the bedrooms, and each has a cooling ceiling fan.  There is a finished lower level with  recessed lighting and a cozy powder room.  Laundry room, storage and mechanicals complete this level.  This superb country retreat is just minutes from the Merrit Parkway, shops and restaurants, but a special world of its own!  Now a particularly well-priced oppty!
