Zaccheus Mead Lane Area
|
Belgian block lines the circular driveway approaching this completely private property. A broad flagstone walkway and terrace area leads to the front entrance with a delightful curved overlight above the door. The center hall with a flagstone floor rises two stories with a charming circular stairway and a subtly bowed landing, a classic example of the unusual quality in this home. The inviting living room with a fireplace and wide-board floors has panelled walls faux painted a warm color and a wet bar, plus two sets of glass doors to the terrace overlooking the property. The formal dining room has a floor-to-ceiling bay window, corner cabinets and glass doors to the outside. The family room/kitchen is a marvelous space with a fireplace, panelled walls, a window bay and access to the bar, while the working part has a center island, windows overlooking the outside, a pantry and access to a powder room, to the laundry and to the two-story mudroom/gallery hall leading to the garage with ample closet storage. The ground-floor master suite is lovely with a fireplace in the generous sitting area with a south-facing bay window, two bathrooms (one with a large window area facing south, but with complete privacy) and two dressing closets. Upstairs are four bedrooms and three bathrooms - one of these bedrooms is in a separate wing accessed by its own stairway. The lower level has a room designed to be a playroom and then there is one of the more interesting features in Greenwich - the barrel-arched root cellar - a remnant of the earlier manor house built on this site prior to electricity - with a brick ceiling, concrete floor and french doors to a terrace adjoining the pool. This would make a great attached poolhouse or it is an enormous wine cellar kept at the correct temperature by its underground placement. This home has lovely detailing, a wood shingle roof, new HVAC and a generator. For the best in Greenwich, please contact David Ogilvy & Associates 203-869-9866. |
