Greenwich colonial with park views is a New England dream
For a town of about 62,000, historic Greenwich, Connecticut, is home to a lot of green space, including dozens of parks, four beaches, and several “pocket parks.” This stone and shingle colonial overlooks one of the town’s favorites: Binney Park, home to Fourth of July celebrations, lakes for ice-skating, and plenty of walking and picnicking spots.
Built by award-winning York Construction & Development and Sound Beach Partners in a one-time collaboration, this charming estate exemplifies fine craftsmanship. From the curved staircase and crown molding to the high ceilings, the builders included abundant details throughout this home’s 4,914 square feet.
The formal living room and more casual family room both include fireplaces. From the family room, French doors lead you to the property’s lush grounds.
The gourmet kitchen features a large center island stacked with storage. Natural stone countertops, custom cabinetry, and an oven with a gas stovetop provide the necessary tools for creating excellent dinner party fare. Nearby, a cozy breakfast nook offers space for a quick bite while gazing at the foliage outdoors. Around the corner, you’ll find the formal dining room, which conveniently includes a butler’s pantry.
The spacious master suite comes with its own fireplace for those snowy winter evenings. Along another wall, French doors open to the upstairs terrace. The master bath offers a deep soaking tub, separate steam shower, dual vanities, and ample storage.
With six bedrooms, five full baths, and two partial baths, you’ll have more than enough space for family and guests. In addition, the previous owners finished the top floor to create more living space. Use it for guest quarters, an art studio, or office space. The home also includes a dedicated study on the main floor.
The bottom level has its own entrance, which makes it ideal for a guest or au pair suite. You can also use it as a rec room or an exercise room. Are you a movie buff? Convert it into a private home theater.
With its peaceful location overlooking Binney Park and abutting a nature preserve, you’ll love the home’s outdoor areas. In addition to the upstairs terrace, you’ll find a large outdoor patio area with a kitchen and fire pit. You also have plenty of space on the property to relax in a chaise lounge and gaze at the nearby lake.
Additional home features include a two-car garage, full-house generator, double-pane windows, and security and sprinkler systems.
