SOLD - Mead's Point
|
The approach to this pre-war, architect designed home is appealing. Tall hedges screen the property and the long gravel driveway arrives into a circle. A flagstone terrace is at the front door which has handsome divided sidelights with curved muntins. The entrance hall with a powder room has a brick floor and an intricate arched plaster ceiling of great character. Several steps up is a continuation of the front-to-back center hall with french doors facing west to the garden and an elegant circular stairway which goes to the second-floor hallway, again with lovely plasterwork. The front-to-back living room has a panelled fireplace wall with built-in bookcases as well as french doors outside and a long window to the front. The formal dining room also has a fireplace, display cases and french doors outside while the family room or solarium with three exposures has built-in cabinetry and a window seat in a bay. There is a pantry opening to the kitchen, the peaked ceiling breakfast room has nice views, and there is a mudroom which leads to a brick-floored breezeway, the screened porch, the garden sheds and the two-car garage. Upstairs is the master suite with a dressing room and a bathroom, plus there are three additional bedrooms with two bathrooms and a third-floor bedroom with a bathroom. This stone home with a shingle wing, a slate roof and a large center chimney has great character. Mead's Point Association is a wonderful area free of traffic with walking and bicycling from the front door and a private association beach at the end of the lane. Some of the most magnificent estates in Greenwich are in this association and the Floor-Area-Ratio will allow up to approximately 16,387 square feet on this property so it could become a major estate.
