Greenwich has some of the most prime real estate in the country. From traditional-style compounds on sprawling acres in backcountry to awarding-winning moderns, it has something for every luxury buyer and many celebs have also held homes here over the years. A Victorian right on the water, now listed for $11.5 million, could be an ideal find for a history lover who also wants a coastal location.
Built in 1920, the 8,000-square-foot haven offers historic charm throughout, from built-ins in the bedrooms to arches walkways and windows. Yet, some key spaces have a modern, cool edge. The kitchen is newly renovated, but is not over the top. Every modernization was done meticulously to ensure the home would remain low maintenance and enhance the structure’s original feel. Another standout feature is in the second-floor living room with a wall-spanning arched window that fosters an enchanting, treetop atmosphere.
All in all, it features seven bedrooms that each have a stunning view of the water. The primary suite really steals the show. On each side of the bedroom, there is a full bathroom and closet so the new owners don’t need to argue over space for clothes. This main sanctuary also leads out to a large deck, so you can wake up and step outside with ease.
The luxury doesn’t stop there, of course. The property has a infinity pool, private deep-water dock, and patios and decks poised for hosting al fresco dinner parties. To top it off, the home is also complemented by a guest house that boasts its own kitchen, two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Safe to say, guests will want to stay for more than just the weekend.
