Introducing The Cottages at Wire Mill: New Construction 55+ Living in North Stamford

The Metalios Team is the exclusive marketing and sales agent for The Cottages at Wire Mill, a new gated community of single-family homes for active adults 55 and older, set behind private gates in North Stamford, Connecticut.

This is new construction in one of Fairfield County's most established neighborhoods — a combination that's rare in this market, and one we expect to resonate with buyers who want to downsize without compromising on quality, privacy, or location.

What Makes Wire Mill Different

Most 55+ communities in this part of Connecticut are resales — older buildings retrofitted for active adult living. The Cottages at Wire Mill is ground-up new construction, with deeded single-family ownership rather than a condo or co-op structure.

Every home is built with contemporary farmhouse architecture and includes dual primary suites, one on each floor. The first-floor suite makes true single-level living possible day to day, while the second-floor suite — with a spa bath and freestanding soaking tub — works well for visiting family or simply living across two floors when you want the option.

Each residence offers more than 3,244 square feet of living space, with a three-season room, walk-up attic, full basement, and oversized garage bringing total usable area to nearly 5,500 square feet. Outdoor living is private by design: a fenced backyard, irrigated lawn, concrete patio, and a heated paver driveway with snow-melt technology.

Built for Worry-Free Living

The finishes throughout reflect the same standard Metalios Team buyers expect from us: a full suite of Thermador kitchen appliances, all-wood shaker cabinetry, 4-inch white oak hardwood floors, and European tilt-and-turn windows for energy efficiency and noise reduction.

Every home is generator-ready and planned with an EcoFlow smart electrical panel, positioning future owners for easy EV charging, solar, and battery backup upgrades without a disruptive retrofit later.

A Gated, Private Setting in North Stamford

The community sits on a tree-lined common drive behind a private gated entry, with deeded access to both Wire Mill Road and Long Ridge Road. It's minutes from downtown Stamford, the Merritt Parkway, and Metro-North rail — close enough for an easy trip into the city or down to the shoreline, while still offering the quiet, wooded setting North Stamford is known for.

Timeline and Availability

Construction is set to begin in Summer 2026, with estimated completion in January 2028. Pricing is available upon request. Given the limited number of residences in this gated enclave, we expect strong early interest from buyers planning ahead for their next stage of life.
