March marks the beginning of the spring market, the busiest selling season of the year. Last spring, however, sales were slow, thanks to rising interest rates and record low inventory levels. As of this writing, the Federal Reserve has moved to keep rates unchanged, but has hinted at future cuts. If that happens, shoppers who have been avoiding record rates will start shopping in earnest, or so the thinking goes. The bottom line: if a special house catches your attention, “leap forward!”

On the Gold Coast, a classic circa-1905 Greek Revival house in Greenwich updated by the architect Allan Greenberg is asking $12.5 million. The white-columned rectory received a stunning addition, housing bright, light-filled spaces that open onto a pool terrace. And the 15,500-square-foot interior, designed by Victoria Hagan, is packed with amenities, including a racquetball court, basketball court, billiards room and home office. But, the dreamiest wing is the master suite with its glass walls, dressing room, spa-like bathrooms and adjacent gym.

Additionally, on the 3.7-acre property, there is a two-bedroom guesthouse and a tennis court. Leslie McElwreath of Sotheby’s International Realty holds the unique listing.
