If your broker asks you to “take it outside,” she’s not inviting you to rumble. Rather, a tour of outdoor rooms, gardens and other exterior spaces is likely in the offing—which, this month, might even eclipse the home’s indoor pleasures.An outdoor room offers the best of all worlds: a place to commune with nature without the hard work of hiking or gardening. And a new $15 million Greenwich listing takes outdoor chilling to the next level, with multiple spaces for doing nothing at all. It’s hard to pick a favorite among them, but we’re partial to the many-columned pergola with a redbrick fireplace, which echoes the façade of the French-style main house. Bracketed by two cabanas, the pergola steps down to the pool, a stone terrace and a pool house with another fireplace and a wet bar.On the nearly four-acre spread, there’s also a garden room next to a waterfall, formal parterre gardens, a tennis court and a fire pit. The 12,000-square-foot interiors, designed by Cindy Rinfret, are swell as well. Highlights include a dramatic entry hall with a curved staircase, a handsome, wood-paneled library and a main-floor wine room and bar. It is listed with David Ogilvy & Associates.
