Good design doesn’t wait for you to step inside. Before the kitchen, the layout or the finishes, it’s the curb appeal that catches your eye. From a grand Colonial Revival home and a stately country estate to classic Hamptons architecture and waterfront retreats, these properties make a lasting first impression. Thoughtful landscaping, distinctive architectural details and memorable approaches ensure they don’t just open doors. They turn heads.
Here are five Brown Harris Stevens listings that put their best facades forward.
Dating back to the 1830s and expanded during the Colonial Revival of the 1930s, this iconic South Wilton home makes a stately first impression with its grand columned facade, inviting covered porch, and meticulously curated landscaping.
Set along the Intracoastal, this renovated West Palm Beach home makes a striking tropical first impression with its arched balcony, climbing greenery, manicured hedges and towering palms.
Set on more than two acres in Sagaponack, this cedar-and-stone residence brings grandeur to classic Hamptons architecture with its gambrel rooflines, eyebrow window and expansive circular motor court.
At the heart of more than 1,600 acres in the Catskills, a winding drive lined with historic rock walls and iron gates leads to the circa-1787 Lake House, where four massive Doric columns support a portico spanning the entire facade.
At the end of Sasco Hill Road, a gated entrance and winding drive reveal an 11-acre waterfront estate that blends Swedish, Dutch and Moorish architectural influences with curated gardens, rolling lawns and 450 feet directly on Long Island Sound.
