A Fabulous Opportunity to Own a Piece of Greenwich History

|
The rich patina and feeling of warmth of this home is a treat. A thorough renovation in superb taste with additions in character have made this fascinating home beautifully livable for 2011 - it is the kind of place anyone would love to visit or to enjoy living in, surrounded by parklike property. A verandah shelters the front door opening into the most inviting entrance room with a huge fireplace, up to 27-inch-wide-board panelling, a brick floor and a hand-hewn beamed ceiling. The south-facing living room with a fireplace and a beehive oven has a similar beamed ceiling, amazing wide-board floors and french doors to the garden as does the dining room with a lovely fireplace mantelpiece and a feeling of many, many happy times around the table. The cozy library is a retreat on cold evenings in front of the fireplace, and the large step-down solarium with a flagstone floor has three walls of windows to bring the beautiful gardens inside. A pantry with an antique copper sink opens to the superb new kitchen with a skylight. This adjoins the family room with an enormous skylight, three exposures with walls of glass and access to the incredibly romantic wisteria-covered verandah. There is a main-floor bedroom, now used as an exercise room, and a powder room. Upstairs are five bedrooms with a luxurious master suite with a sitting room, two new bathrooms (one with a whirlpool tub) and walls of windows on three sides - it is like a delightful tree house. There are original beams and floors in the other bedrooms, all with many windows and great light, three sparkling bathrooms, plus the lower level has the garage. This remarkable property is surrounded by three major estates totaling together 40.8 acres, a rarity in mid-country, and it is only minutes from shopping and downtown. Set back with a nice feeling of privacy, this charming piece of New England architecture is one of the most enchanting places in town with a great combination of the original character and up-to-date renovations for today's living.
