This lasting impression of harmony and refinement, architectural beauty and artistic landscaping could have been commissioned by an early Greenwich family.  Yet, while this romantic home takes its cues from century-old traditions, it is utterly and excitingly new. This 8,500 square foot home of tumbled Flemish bond brick with stately quoin accents, leaded coated copper downspouts, and a slate roof, accentuated this blissful Lake Avenue property.

Emerald lawns laced by majestic trees and blooming gardens are viewed beyond French doors with transom windows.  Two verandahs, one draped by a pergola and another with plantation columns, gaze across nearly two level acres with an east-facing lawn approved for a future swimming pool.

Step inside the welcoming reception hall to experience a simply dazzling décor of Old World elegance infused by today’s luxury. Coffered 11’ ceilings, panel wainscoting, mahogany and quarter sawn oak millwork and five exquisite fireplaces animate grandly scaled rooms. The drawing room, formal dining room, spacious family room and hearthside breakfast room flow in a classical arrangement. On the lower level, there are a media/playroom with floor to ceiling stone fireplace, a wine cellar, a pub-style bar, billiards room, powder room, exercise room with French doors and a bedroom/office with fireplace and a separate entrance. White oak floors and custom millwork throughout the lower level. The unerring signature of Christopher Peacock is showcased in a work of art scullery kitchen, creative service areas, a balcony library, plus 6.2 baths. Top shelf appointments by such names as Waterworks, Urban Archaeology and Ann Sachs complete each detail to perfection.

The trendsetting master suite is a space you will truly savor. Sitting by the fireplace, reading on the balcony or in the charming paneled study; selecting attire from two Peacock wardrobes, or rejuvenating in the steam shower or bath are guaranteed pleasures. An elegant hallway connects family and guests to four additional bedrooms.
 
Just shy of town, minutes from schools, shops, restaurants and the train, this established address is the perfect finish to a dream come true.
