Some homes don’t just invite you in—they make an entrance. A grand staircase, soaring ceilings, or a foyer designed to impress can set the tone before you even step into the main living spaces. It’s that first moment, the one where architecture and design come together in perfect harmony, that lingers long after you’ve walked through the door.

These four Brown Harris Stevens homes don’t wait to wow you. They do it the second you arrive.
