In belle haven, a 7 bedroom house is for sale.
Rarely do you have the opportunity to own a piece of real estate, that is so magnificently original that opens up a world of opportunity for today's living. The location in Greenwich is unparalleled, just a block to the sound with mooring rights, and the 3.1 acre property is truly magnificent. The present owners are fourth generation owners and have been true custodians of history. From the Tiffany style (and may be actually Tiffany or Lafarge from the time frame using Fevrille glass) to the Epstein of Boston plaster moulding to carved mouldings and built ins in four different types of wood, to quarter sawn oak flooring and 9 fireplaces all adorned with carved mantles and Chelsa tiles from the historic company still in operation in Massachusetts, nine foot celings, baths with original fixtures so sought after today, these owners recognized the museum quality of their details and left them in spectacular condition. You can truly create a world apart here. The house has gracious rooms, a really nice flowy floor plan, grand staircase, You can live iin it so easily today with just some updates.. BUT....I contacted some architects regarding an idea about converting HUGE circular veranda which is off the family room into a magnificent circular kitchen with plenty of space for an eating area with views of the pool and lucious lawns and gardens. And, have the space repeated on the second and third floors to make a spectacular master bath on the second floor and on the third floor a planetarium and media with a dome celling and circular stairs to an observation deck which would be even with the roof top, from which you most certainly would be able to see the sound in all its glory. It's still in the concept stage but what a fantastic opportunity for the visionary to blend the old with the new. The lowest level of the house, which walks out to the stairs that go down to the pool in dramatic fashion, lends itself to being a large fantastic cabana. with sauna. It's size and ceiling height is perfect for this. The lowest level of the Verandah is perfectly and magnificently suited for an outdoor kitchen and bar, Shielded from the sun and elements, would round out the incredible makeover of this house. And what to do with the kichen space now? Make a mudroom, a laundry room and a bathroom and perhaps relocate the elevator to this area. Call me, I would love to discuss this property and these really cool ideas with you. 203-454-3026
