SOLD - Khakum Wood

|
A major hedge and a circular driveway emphasize the impressive entrance. Glorious handmade miniature brick detailing over upstairs windows, a thick Ludowici roof and superb stonework with intricate detailing over the leaded glass windows give this home immense character. A carved oak door opens to the center hall with a graceful curved stairway, a matching curved wall for an inviting sitting area and a cloak room/powder room. There are steps down to the gracious living room with a fireplace flanked by elegant detailing and display bookcases, high ceilings, random-width wide-board floors and lovely tall windows in deep reveals with plaster detailing on three exposures including french doors to the magnificent gardens. The formal dining room has three exposures and wide-board floors. There are french doors to several terraces from the warmly panelled library with a fireplace and a wet bar. The family room with three exposures including a bay window has elaborate built-ins and opens directly to the wonderful kitchen with an eating area and a classic butler's pantry with glass-fronted cabinets. A large window is on the stair landing and the master suite is step-down with three exposures, a dressing room and a renovated bathroom. There are four other bedrooms and three new bathrooms on the second floor (one has a delightful window bay with bookshelves) and all have lovely views. The third floor has a family room or bedroom (the built-in bed feels like a treehouse!) and a new bathroom. The lower floor has a playroom with a full bath, a cooled wine cellar, the laundry with a large window and the three-car garage. This marvelous home has exquisite plasterwork including subtle archways over some of the doors. The grounds are some of the most beautiful in Greenwich with open level lawns bordered by stone walls in the inner garden with a romantic heated pool, a garden pavilion with a Ludowici roof for summertime dining, a garden shed with the same roof, open lawns beyond for croquet and many terraces for outdoor living. Totally upgraded with a fine hand to retain the original character, this glorious home is a classic in prime condition, perfectly decorated to emphasize its wonderful heritage.
