This extraordinary 5.75 acre country compound, hidden from view down a long gated driveway, offers unique privacy South of the Parkway. Surrounded by long lawns and magical gardens, and buffered by meadows and 77 acres of woodlands, the main house and cottage are ready for the next generation to enjoy. Custom-built for a prominent Greenwich resident in the 20's, the estate was built to the highest standard with quality materials. High ceilings, long windows, and generously scaled rooms are featured on all three floors, providing a timeless floor plan attractive for both formal and informal gatherings. The first floor rooms integrate easily with ''destination'' outdoor spaces defined by arbored terraces overlooking the pool, and garden ''rooms'' marked by sculpted hedges and trees. A grand center hall flooded with light is flanked by an elegant living room with beautiful fireplace and a romantic dining room with beamed ceiling and bay window. The scale of front hall space is attractive for entertaining as it extends to a large sunroom spanning the back of the house and opening to a large covered porch and gardens. A step-down south-facing family room with vaulted ceiling and impressive fireplace, and a well-equipped kitchen with octagonal breakfast room are compelling spaces to linger and enjoy watching the seasons change outside. Upstairs on the second floor, there are four large bedrooms, including the primary bedroom suite with a fireplace in sitting room. Additionally, there are two small bedrooms and bath up the back staircase, a small project/play space, and a remarkable linen closet. The third floor was rebuilt to include an enormous playroom, or studio marked by large windows with fantastic views across the grounds. There is also a separate bedroom suite on this level. The cottage has a versatile layout and has distinct living accommodations on both floors. Both levels have beautiful terraces and decks overlooking grounds and gardens, and the orientation of outdoor areas is completely separate and away from the main house, extending north into a separately-deeded lot. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire a truly remarkable estate with memorable gardens and grounds. Whimsical features inside and out make this unique property enjoyable.
