This well-appointed French Manor House is situated on a large lot in Greenwich CT, flanked by small ponds and well established natural landscape. Built to replace a home on the site, the decision was made to keep the existing brick landscape walls, and with it an allée of trees and large granite fountain. In addition, the lovely and unusually designed greenhouse/conservatory was also preserved and has been artfully integrated into the new design.
This home is clad in stone veneer which is accentuated with lovely, cream-colored French limestone. The French oak windows and doors are oversized to allow the maximum amount of light to permeate the interior of the home while the thick slate roof in mottled colors provides a solid cap that is sure to stand the test of time. Window boxes and small balconies of solid bronze add touches of whimsy that will only improve with age as they continue to patina in the elements.
Inside, guests will be received in a spacious 2 story entry hall appointed with a large fireplace, open balconies, and custom plaster beams and moldings. All the first floor rooms of this home are proportioned for entertaining, while the second-floor bedrooms contain en suite bathrooms and views to either the fountains in the front yard or the natural pond in the backyard. If you are in the mood for some exercise there is ample gym space including a two-story sports court and a spa room with a spacious whirlpool for relaxation. A large pool with extensive terraces that include water features and a firepit allow the family to enjoy the property to its fullest.
