Old world charm abounds in this neoclassical home suffused with European elegance set on a quiet, wooded cul-de-sac in E. Greenwich. Soaring Ionic columns support a portico emblazoned with a Greek crest and flanked by a pair of distinctive Victorian turrets, providing a magnificent welcome as the eight-foot mahogany front doors open to reveal sweeping staircases curving up to a second-floor balcony. Cross a foyer lit by sparkling chandeliers and inlaid with an intricate mosaic floor to take in views of the two acres of sylvan grounds. The kitchen is a gastronome's delight, with Sub Zero & Wolf appliances, a vast center island with built-in prep sink & food warmer, & a spacious attached butler pantry & laundry room. Fine details in this durably constructed contractor's home capture the eye everywhere, from exquisite woodworking employed for wainscoting & crown & ceiling moldings, to Brazilian cherry floors inlaid with walnut. Twenty-foot ceilings, arched windows and French doors fill the living room with light. The room is warmed by one of three gas fireplaces in the home; another adds coziness to the spacious first-floor master suite, highlighted by a double-sized jetted tub set into a private turreted nook. All three upstairs bedrooms have en-suite baths, plus a balcony space that can serve as a office or den. A hidden four-car garage faces a private cobbled courtyard that's perfect for parties in a setting reminiscent of a grand country estate. GPS1607 MIDDLE RD E.GREENWICH
