The landmark brick and limestone gateposts create a magnificent entrance. The driveway curves gracefully past huge rhododendron hedges and stone walls to the remarkable flagstone courtyard, a two-story archway with a distinct chamfer at an entrance to a second stone courtyard, and dramatic fountains. Prominent copper drainpipes with ornately decorated rainwater heads are distributed across the exterior while numerous ornamental plaques of limestone, terra cotta and marble are inlaid in various locations as whimsical carvings of the 1930s, and there are lovely antique light fixtures. The barrel-vaulted entrance portico shelters the impressive front doorway opening to the front-to-back center hall with a new bar and two new powder rooms. The generous drawing room with a superb fireplace has two exposures and a door to the romantic summer loggia with a fireplace. The panelled library with a fireplace is lined with bookcases and has a sun-filled west facing bay window. The dining room is breathtaking with antique English panelling, a fireplace and a second dining area overlooking the gardens. The fabulous new country kitchen with a fireplace and lovely wide antique floors adjoins the butler's pantry and the new family room with a fireplace and the pool bathroom. Upstairs the broad landing leads to the significant master suite with two dressing rooms, and an exceptional new bathroom with a steam shower. There are five or six additional bedrooms with five new bathrooms and a billiards room. The top-to-bottom renovation includes a new, thick slate roof, custom-made insulated glass windows in character with the house, all new bathrooms and hydro-air heating and cooling. A generous new guest house is above the three-car garage with a new bath and rooftop terrace, plus there is also a rentable, two-bedroom garage apartment over four additional garages. This is a unique piece of Greenwich history in the ultimate condition for living in 2008 - sublime in every way.
