Inside an Elegant, Welcoming Estate in Greenwich

October 16, 2025

In the heart of the lush, luxurious community of Greenwich, this carefully rejuvenated 1923 residence combines Old World elegance with a sense of storybook warmth and whimsy, creating an oasis for effortless day-to-day living and festive entertaining.

A gloriously green 1.68-acre setting in an exclusive Greenwich enclave and architectural elements recalling classic homes in the English countryside imbue this handsome 1923 home with an ambience of refinement. Yet it possesses a sense of storybook warmth and whimsy with pitched rooflines, towering chimneys, dazzling leaded-glass windows, arched doorways, and a fantastical façade of brick, stone, and half timbering. Meanwhile, the 5,823-square-foot interiors exude an ambience that is undeniably welcoming, with honey-hued hardwood floors, invitingly low-slung ceilings accented by wood beams, carefully positioned mellow lighting, stone fireplaces, and numerous windows and French doors connecting the indoors with their verdant natural surroundings. The overall feel is undeniably distinctive—simultaneously sophisticated and charming.

Ideal for both effortless day-to-day living and festive entertaining, the residence features a spacious living room with multiple sitting areas and a fireplace, a formal dining room bookended by two dramatic glass-enclosed wine cellars, and an alluring bar with exposed brick, a beamed oak ceiling, and a rugged stone fireplace. Cooks of all skill levels will appreciate the generous kitchen and its expansive island, counter seating, and superior-caliber appliances—including a 60-inch Wolf range, a Sub-Zero refrigerator-freezer, KitchenAid refrigerated drawers, and two Miele dishwashers. Nearby is a convenient scullery with a built-in Miele espresso system, a True beverage refrigerator, and abundant storage options.

For more private moments, a quiet office with thoughtful built-ins is secluded behind steel-framed glass doors. Each of the seven bedroom suites is accompanied by a custom closet and a stylish bath with radiant-heated floors. The primary suite is an idyllic private oasis featuring its own fireplace and an exceptional bath with a “wet room” and a discreet water closet. Tucked above the garage is a guest apartment offering a kitchenette and a living area. The home’s careful restoration introduced such contemporary conveniences as smart home automation by Control4, a Sonos sound system, and comprehensive security for peace of mind.

The kitchen, bar, and living room all open to an enviable outdoor lounge—heated for year-round comfort—and terrace with a striking built-in grilling area. Beyond is a heated saltwater swimming pool and spa surrounded by sweeping swaths of lawn, stately stone walls, and grounds dashingly landscaped with flourishing hydrangeas and dramatic ornamental grasses. The estate’s whimsical motif continues in vibrant vegetable and flower beds with an enchanting fountain serving as the centerpiece of this—a picturesque, personal secret garden in the heart of the lush, luxurious community of Greenwich.
