With its elegant pond and fountain, timeless half timbering, towering Tudor-style chimneys, and lush enveloping greenery, this 14,532-square-foot estate might easily be mistaken for a manor nestled in the English countryside. This classical refinement, however, belies the fact that the home is a distinguished 21st-century residence—created with expert craftsmanship, superior construction, and every modern convenience—near the attractions in Connecticut’s most coveted address, mid-country Greenwich. Impressive in scale, and easily livable, it offers every amenity expected in a home of such caliber.

A regal entrance hall with soaring ceilings, dramatic windows, and a stately split staircase introduces the home, leading to an inviting formal living room with a fireplace, a handsome wet bar, and 23-foot floor-to-ceiling windows; a dignified dining room with a fireplace a convenient butler’s pantry linking the dining room to the kitchen; a diverting billiards room; a wood-paneled library with a fireplace; and an office.

Five lovely suites benefit from the seclusion of the second level, while a two-bedroom guest suite with a full bath and a sitting room is a supremely quiet and private retreat on the main level. The upper-level owner’s wing includes a sitting room with a fireplace, a romantic balcony, and two lavish baths—one with an opulent soaking tub—and two expertly outfitted walk-in closets.
Approached by a long drive that winds up a gentle hill, the rolling, verdant four-acre grounds include a heated 60-foot swimming pool and spa, expanses of lawn, and a tennis court.

Sure to please the auto enthusiast, generous space is allocated to garaging car collections: an attached three-car garage, a freestanding three-car garage, and space for six additional sports cars on the home’s lower level.
