Tour a $58M Georgian Colonial on the Water in Greenwich

While the national housing market has cooled, Connecticut continues to post impressive sales. To be clear, there are fewer actual transactions—reduced inventory remains a challenge—but some big-ticket closings are keeping cash registers full. In August, a Greenwich property broke the record for the most expensive residential sale in Connecticut’s history, at $138,830,000. Also in Greenwich, a 54-acre parcel of undeveloped land owned by the Rockefeller family sold for $215 million and Susic Hilfiger (ex-wife of designer Tommy) finally closed on Denbigh Farm, selling it for $15 million.

But, the tony Connecticut town offers ample chances to snap up prestigious properties. A $58 million Georgian Colonial within the guard-gated Mead Point Association is currently for sale that brings the views, the glamour, and the amenities.

The waterfront estate started life in 1928 but was rebuilt and expanded in 2014 by architect Cormac Byrne and builder Significant Homes, and was featured in CTC&G in 2016. The home opens with the much-coveted, front-to-back foyer, which offers views to the water and access to an expansive terrace that spans the width of the house, with steps to the pool, dock, and private beach. The double-height living room is another showstopper, with its barrel ceiling, fireplace, and mezzanine balcony. And, if you’re at all inclined to entertain, the Christopher Peacock kitchen is the place to do it, a space that flows to a butler’s pantry and formal dining room, as well as an outdoor kitchen with a built-in grill and pizza oven.

The exact price of this splashy Greenwich residence is $57,995,000, listed with Leslie McElwreath of Sotheby’s International Realty.
