Modern farmhouses have certainly garnered more popularity over the years, but it’s the historic farmhouses from earlier centuries that laid the foundation for this trend. One such structure is for sale in Greenwich, but not where you would expect. While some may think a house of this style would be located in a rural area, this early-1900s abode actually sits only minutes away from Greenwich Avenue, a Connecticut hub of high-end shopping and restaurants. After originally listing for $4.995 million, the price was reduced last month to its current ask of $4.799 million.
While it sits in a convenient in-town location, 124 Havemeyer Place still maintains privacy in its own breezy bubble, where its white palette carries from its lovely wraparound porch to the refreshed interiors. Illuminated by windows all around, the airy main floor feels light as a feather with the help of French oak flooring. The updated kitchen is any cook’s delight, from its gold hardware and top-of-the-line appliances to its central location in the room—making for seamless entertaining.
Moving upstairs, you’ll find five bedrooms and four bathrooms. Revamping it recently, an interior designer melded wood accents with black marble in the primary suite, creating a bold and private oasis. Included also in the suite is a grand walk-in closet with more than enough space for all a new owner’s fashions.
A 3,536-square-foot home like this in a prime town location does come at a steep price, but it could be a perfect fit for those looking to downsize from a grand Greenwich estate or for a moving Manhattan family not ready to plant themselves too far from the city. Look to Joy Metalios of Houlihan Lawrence for the fanciful farmhouse listing.
