A Magical Setting with a Fascinating House!
|
A stone paved circular driveway leads to the entrance door. The front hallway has a wide bay window with a window seat and one of three powder rooms. Decorated to perfection, the incredible Great Room with its marvelous fireplace has clerestory windows at the level of the beamed, cathedral ceiling and a spectacular arched window right to the top of the gable - this is one of the most exciting spaces in Greenwich. At the end in a quiet nook with its own windows to the view is the ultimate wraparound sofa, a compelling place to sit at times when the fireplace is not the center of life. The fascinating panelled book-lined library with a double center fireplace, has long windows, wonderful detailing and an octagonal tray ceiling. Adjoining this is a delicious long dining room with a beamed ceiling and ample room for a seating arrangement as a family room overlooking the lake. The kitchen has a door to the lakeside terrace, white cabinetry with glass-fronted upper cabinets and a delightful eating area. Upstairs off the gallery with bookcases and a seating area under the tall arched window overlooking the view is the luxurious master suite with a fireplace, two bathrooms and ample closets plus a second en suite bedroom with a wide bay window. In addition, there are two more bedrooms with a charming sitting room between them and a shared bathroom. Garaging is for two cars and all the systems are up to date including a generator. The grounds are exceptional with towering trees to frame the architecture, beautiful plantings, a waterside dock for sitting to savor the view, and a sense of being in a tranquil and serene place surrounded by nature yet with shopping within a quick drive. The condition is sparkling and this is one of the most compelling houses we have ever seen with great originality and a wide choice of inviting spaces for living and entertaining.
