Private Association in Mid-Country
|
A double entrance circular driveway leads to the portico. The mahogany front door bracked by divided lights and an overlight opens into the gracious center hall with and a powder room and the high ceilings which continue throughout the house. The living room with a fireplace has french doors with transom overlights opening to the garden and a beautiful mahogany deck with curving, low-riser steps to the open lawn. The large library with a fireplace has three exposures, french doors to the outside, a lighted display case with glass shelves and a beamed ceiling, and the formal dining room has two exposures. Adjoining the superb Christopher Peacock kitchen with a center island and a very generous eating area with a wide bay window is the family room with a fireplace and french doors to the garden, again with transom windows above for amazing west light - both rooms are ideal for watching children in the play yard. An arched portico shelters the side door opening into the mudroom, the laundry room, the back stairs and access to the attached two-car garage. Upstairs is the master suite with a cathedral ceiling, a lovely oval window in the end gable, a sitting room lined by closets and a limestone bathroom with a whirlpool bathtub and a separate shower. There are four additional bedrooms, an office and a huge playroom with a cathedral ceiling, a Palladian window, three exposures and easy access to the kitchen. Downstairs is an exercise room or playroom and ample storage. The heated pool with a terrace is beautifully sited in open, level and very broad lawns with extensive landscaping and good privacy. The ceilings are high, the windows are oversized for light, the doors are tall, and the hardware is lovely. Only 19 homes are part of this private association so it is ideal for walking or bicycling.
This home is currently offered at $4,375,000. For the best in Greenwich, please contact David Ogilvy & Associates 203-869-9866. |
