This elegant French style country home in Greenwich has everything that modern living and entertaining can offer: beauty, comfort, quality, location, space, sunlight and a beautiful infinity pool.

The elegant master bathroom includes a steam shower. Three further large bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms complete the sleeping quarters on the second floor, two of which have fireplaces. The third floor includes a spacious room that can be used as a large office or game room, a walk-in cedar closet, a bar with a Sub Zero fridge as well as the fifth bedroom with en-suite bathroom. A 950-pound ThyssenKrupp elevator serves the house.
The kitchen with its custom crafted painted wood cabinets and marble countertops and backsplashes includes an expansive breakfast/eat-in area. Two dishwashers, a Viking oven and a Sub Zero fridge and freezer complete the kitchen.
The family room also doubles up as a home theater. There is a more formal and beautiful living room. Each of these rooms has a fireplace and a handcrafted mantle to provide spacious and comfortable day-to-day living and entertaining. The dining room is formal and spacious and has a small kitchen attached to it with yet another dishwasher and elegant cabinets for storage.
The library/office features solid mahogany paneling and bookcases a masonry fireplace with a granite surround and a wet bar. Beautiful hardwood floors and high ceilings give this home a very real sense of space. This home also has in-built NILES Audio multi-room sound system throughout.
A finished basement includes a sauna, a steam shower in the basement bathroom, a small gym and kitchen, a laundry room, a wine cellar and a three-car garage.
The South West facing garden is a pleasure to enjoy as it receives the afternoon sunlight that also shines on the main house. The setting is complete with a heated infinity pool and Jacuzzi/spa. In order to enjoy the garden in the evenings, landscape lighting was installed in both the front and back gardens. A 20KW GE generator provides peace of mind.
The exquisite workmanship and beauty of this home defines understated elegance and is the ideal place to live and entertain. Beautifully maintained.
