Handsome wooden gates open to the driveway and the major courtyard. The historic architecture is a landmark of beauty and taste with additions in character for easy living in 2008 and the future. A portico leads to the classic front entrance and the center hall with its finely curving stairway and a powder room. The formal living room with a fireplace and a coffered ceiling has two exposures, and the warmly panelled, book-lined library with a fireplace has a south-facing bay window. The generous formal dining room with a fireplace faces south and west and the wonderful step-down family room with a fireplace and a wide antique bar has arched french doors and three exposures with lovely garden views. The butler’s pantry opens to the country kitchen designed by a noted architect with beautiful wood cabinetry, a center island and a mudroom opening to the three-car garage. The second family room also has three exposures and a delightful children’s playhouse. It adjoins the exercise room with a cathedral ceiling and a full bathroom with a windowed steam room. The new master suite with a fireplace has a door to the solarium/sitting room with pastoral views, a double dressing room and a sumptuous bathroom with a steam shower and a classic bathtub. There are five additional bedrooms (two with fireplaces) with four new bathrooms and an upstairs playroom. The romantic pool house is totally memorable – a two-story center room with a stone fireplace rising the full height and accordion french doors on both sides for total cross ventilation, a balcony, a curved pergola, a wet bar and a changing room/bathroom. Decorated with flair and style in lovely subtle colors, this is one of the most appealing houses ever in Greenwich with delicious detailing, floors with a wonderful patina, ideal room proportions and a sense of timeless elegance.
