Estate of the Day

This estate on around 4.25 acres in Greenwich, Connecticut looks like one of the area's older homes but it was built just a few years ago. Classic Tudor styling and the use of reclaimed materials give this home a vintage look (although the use of ornate floor mosaics does give it away as a more recent build). The home opens into a 40-foot turret entry foyer with sweeping staircase and an antique balustrade. There is a gourmet Clive Christian kitchen and large family room with coffered ceiling. The expansive library welcomes guests with a 19th century bar. The reception area leads to a formal dining room and grand living room with French doors. Amid all the nods to older styling, this house is also up to date with the latest technology, it has a smart house system with Crestron system advantage lighting. This eight-bedroom property is listed at $15.9 million.
