A Greenwich listing offers the most zen-like spa facilities we’ve ever seen this side of Japan. In fact, the spa wing was custom built by craftsmen in Kyoto, dismantled there and reassembled here by the same craftsmen with imported tiles, granite, Japanese cedar and bamboo. The home spa also includes meditation and yoga spaces, along with a Japanese bath. More pampering is on offer outside, around the infinity-edge pool, with its hot tub, granite terrace and pergola.The 13,318-square-foot manse greets guests with a wide, front-to-back reception hall with a fireplace and French doors that open onto a terrace. And there are more luxe amenities in the master suite, including a fireplace, two luxurious bathrooms, two dressing rooms and a paneled study. Called Azalea Hill, the circa-1904 estate sits on four landscaped acres. Joseph Barbieri of Sotheby’s International Realty has the $6,495,000 listing.
