The driveway leads through iron gates in the tall stone wall to the walled entrance courtyard. A classical pediment highlights the front door with a lovely leaded glass fanlight into the broad front-to-back center hall with an arched shell display cabinet opposite the beautiful circular stairway with a long window, and a wonderful series of arched doorways on-axis through the center of the house. The grand living room with a high ceiling has several steps down with two exposures including a floor-to-ceiling bay window with french doors outside, a fireplace and exceptional detailing throughout. There is an arched doorway with a fanlight into the classical library with a fireplace, bookcases, a wet bar and secondary access to a side hall with wonderful built-in cabinets and a door to the front courtyard. The formal dining room has a fireplace and a floor-to-ceiling bay window for a smaller table and french doors to the terrace. There is a charming study or office with bookcases and lovely sunny windows. The heart of the house for today’s living is the gorgeous, family room with a fireplace, three exposures including a tall Palladian window at each end, french doors to a walled side terrace, and a cheerful casual eating area adjoining the sun filled kitchen with a comprehensive pantry, the side entrance, and the back stairway. Upstairs is a superb curved landing at the top of the main stairway and a cheerful library or sitting room. The master suite is in a wing with a lovely bedroom with a fireplace, a dressing room and a luxurious bathroom.

Throughout this house are high ceilings, generous room scale, a wonderful floor plan and exquisite detailing.
This remarkable brick Georgian in classical Flemish bond pattern with spectacular quality and limestone detailing and quoins has hidden gutters and was completely reimagined and reconstructed by the noted architect Alan Greenberg to amazing standards comparable to the best of today's new construction with a thick slate roof. Walled entranced courtyard. Front to back center hall, circular stairway, sublime detailing, high ceilings, shell display cabinets, plasterwork, memorable hardware and wonderful scale - one of the most impressive houses in Greenwich, close to everything on a quiet lane. Superb panelled library with wet bar off a side hall with secondary exterior access. Lovely, level fenced grounds with great privacy and beautiful established landscaping.
