Sure, the real estate market continues to suffer from low housing inventory—there are simply too few listings to choose from right now. But what the Connecticut market lacks in quantity, it more than makes up for in quality. This waterfront estate in Riverside, a coastal enclave of Greenwich, is a prime example of that.
The gracious stone manse was designed by Douglas VanderHorn of VanderHorn Architects and has all the most sought-after features, starting with the back-to-front foyer that leads from the front courtyard to the wide double doors opening onto a back terrace-with views over Long Island Sound every step of the way. There’s a wood-paneled library with a fireplace, an expansive kitchen adjoined by a family room and a primary suite with a fireplace in the bathroom, and on the lower level, a wine room, a media room and a home gym.
The lavish fun continues outdoors with a covered terrace with yet another fireplace and a pretty pool and terrace. All of this comes for a high price, of course. It’s listed for $15.495 million with Joanne Mancuso of Houlihan Lawrence.
