SOLD - This magnificent stone Georgian Colonial is beautifully sited on five acres in one of the most prestigious areas of Greenwich. Custom built for the current owner by noted builder, Bill Gardiner, this home exemplifies the highest standard of architectural detail and fine craftsmanship. The Belgium block lined driveway curves gently to an arrival court at the handsome entrance, as well as to a walled parking court with garaging for four cars. The wide front-to-back foyer with raised paneled wainscoting and herringbone floors has symmetrical archways to the formal dining room, a lovely stair hall, also with archways and french doors to the bluestone terrace, and a spectacular continuous three-story, elliptical stairway. The nearly 40-foot, step-down living room has 11-foot ceilings, marble fireplace, herringbone floors, and a door to a solarium with a curved wall of windows and two sets of french doors. Also adjacent to the living room, the exquisite custom English pine paneled library has a gas fireplace, bookcases and a wet bar. A curved window wall and french doors which mimic those in the solarium create a cheerful backdrop for the family room with built-in bookcases and a fireplace. Adjacent to the family room is the spacious kitchen with honed Black Absolute countertops, tile floor, and oversized island. The butler's pantry, offers easy entertaining for large parties; and there is an adjacent informal dining/breakfast room. From the walled courtyard, two entrances provide access to a spacious wing with one of two powder rooms, an office, generous closets and two back stairways, one of which accesses the private apartment. The luxurious master suite has a private hall leading to the enchanting bedroom with fireplace, large sitting room, two custom-fitted dressing rooms and an extraordinary master bathroom. Three additional bedrooms (one has a fireplace and two have sitting rooms) with en suite bathrooms and a laundry room complete the second floor. The third floor has a sixth bedroom with en suite bathroom and a large playroom. On the lower level there are two enormous playrooms; a billiards room with fireplace; a media room with a wet bar; an exercise room with adjacent room for a wine cellar; a tile floored pool room with bath and two cabanas, and french doors to the approved pool. Large rooms and grand scale combined with classic design and graceful details give this home a uniquely gracious quality.
