Featured in Architectural Digest and designed by Taliesin graduate John Gillis, this remarkable modern masterwork suggests a Prairie-style “village” of adjoining rooms surrounding a courtyard that opens to a pool, fountain, private lake and 2.2 lush acres on exclusive South Lake Drive in North Stamford. The impressive entry foyer leads to a double-height great room featuring a soaring stone fireplace with custom granite mantle, a wall of doors to the terrace, and 25-ft cathedral ceiling with a geometric pattern of birch beams that repeats throughout the main floor, where each room has its own pitched and rafted roof. A formal dining room connects to the updated eat-in gourmet kitchen and spacious family room with stone fireplace. The lavish primary suite overlooks the lake and has a bath with stone shower and two dressing rooms. Four more bedrooms with baths and a large office/library with stone fireplace complete the main level. A hallmark of this home’s architecture is its distinctive relief detailing, repeated in various iterations inside and out. Large-format French rose limestone tiles are found in much of the house, while the great room floor is wide-plank Brazilian cherry, and the bedrooms are oak. For the art collector, gallery rails abound. The lower level has 9-ft ceilings, a refrigerated wine cellar holding 2300 bottles, rec room with fireplace, media room, gym and bonus room. There is in-floor radiant heat with 12 dedicated zones, front external snow melt, heat exchange for pool heating and a heated 3-car garage with Tesla charging. Exterior elements include copper roof shingles and copper-clad windows, 3-foot eaves, stone walls and more. The sylvan property includes protected wetlands to the east and northeast, allowing for a legacy of undisturbed privacy.
