The Georgian architecture, the seaside setting, the salt air and the incredible sunrises you will make feel like you are on vacation all year. It’s all about the panoramic view—from the 125 feet of sandy beach right out the back door to the serene lighthouse in the distance and across Long Island Sound.

The location is stellar: a cul-de-sac in a homeowners’ association in walking distance to “the village,” as the business district is known, as well as the school and the beach. This beautiful, updated classic home has five bedrooms, including a dramatic and private master suite with a fireplace, a sitting room, two dressing rooms, and a romantic balcony for those special moments.

The 5,679-square-foot house also has four full and two half-bathrooms; a glass-walled casual dining room; a gourmet kitchen with a center isle; a paneled library; a sauna; and a thousand-plus-bottle cedar wine room.

The vacation continues with a short walk to the 148-acre Tod’s Point, which features a large sandy beach, snack bars, the Old Greenwich Yacht Club, and a two and a-half mile walk, run or bike ride around the point.

The village of Old Greenwich itself features shopping, restaurants, ice cream shops and the Old Greenwich train station. In early December the Old Greenwich Merchants Association kicks off the holiday season with a First Light Festival that has the support of all the merchants and the residents.

Old Greenwich Elementary School and Eastern Middle School are what cause the young families to flock to the neighborhood. Constantly ranked in the top tiers of educational excellence, the school environment fosters personalized learning as well as interactive group learning. Eastern Middle School has been ranked as the number one middle school in Connecticut based on the number of students performing at the advanced level of the Connecticut Mastery Test.

The first impression most people have of Old Greenwich is the picturesque Binney Park as you approach the village.  On the Fourth of July, the town gathers in the park for fireworks. Binney Park also hosts model sailboat races, concerts, movie nights, tennis and multiple sporting events on their spacious grass fields. On Memorial Day, a parade reminiscent of a Norman Rockwell painting runs through the village. 

Old Greenwich also has the Perrot Library, with extensive programs for children held in the wing dedicated to kids. The Old Greenwich Civic Center promotes a sense of community by providing recreational, athletic, educational and social programs.

This home is offered at $8,475,000.
