The circa-1927 ream chateau in Greenwich is for the racquet-sport enthusiast with the disposable income of, say, Serena Williams. But the asking price of $25 million sounds steep only until you review its very long list of amenities, starting with a Har-Tru court, set alongside a two-story tennis house with a fireplace and a balcony with views over the match in progress. The pool area also impresses with a stone grotto, a waterfall and pillars that descend into the water. The terrace then opens onto a dramatic double stairway that steps down into a garden centered on a sunray pattern, inspired by Louis XIV, the Sun King. And then there’s the 16,301-square-foot home, with its 90-foot-long great hall that’s crowned with 20-foot-high ceilings painted cobalt blue.We could go on and on, but will end with the most masterful master suite we’ve ever seen. It boasts its own paneled study, oval sitting room, hall of mirrors and two bathrooms, one of which has an onyx fireplace. The property is listed with David Ogilvy & Associates.
