Privacy and convenience, without compromise
The six-bedroom colonial at 110 Valley Drive, Greenwich, was built in 2000 and improved by its current owners. The property is newly listed for sale, with an asking price of $5.25 million. Kristy de la Sierra, a Realtor with Houlihan Lawrence, is the listing agent for the midcountry home. She introduced her clients, who corresponded with Greenwich Time via email.
The current owners acquired the property in August 2002. They’d previously moved from New York City to backcountry Greenwich, where they’d lived for several years before looking for a larger home to accommodate their growing family. “What most appealed to us about this location and the property itself was that even though we were no longer in backcountry—to the contrary, we were in a very convenient location close to town—we still had the feeling of being in a very private setup and in the middle of the woods,” the co-owner explained in an email. “We were the first family to live in this house,” the owner recalled. “After moving in, the first year, we built a swimming pool and patio coming out from the playroom of the house. It turned out to be very convenient, since there is a bathroom next to it.” The owners made some additional improvements that may interest prospective buyers. “Recently, we updated the kitchen and bathrooms, as well as replaced the cedar roof,” the seller said.
The kitchen is bright and inviting, with marble surfaces, white cabinetry, stainless appliances, and dual sinks. It’s complemented by a beautiful breakfast room and a pantry. “The kitchen was designed to have a very comfortable and accessible space in which to cook, as well as to gather to eat in,” the seller said. “After the renovation, it maintains its traditional layout and style, but has colors, forms, and furniture Address: 110 Valley Drive, Greenwich

The formal living room and formal dining room sit to each side of the foyer. Along the back of the house, the kitchen, family room, and two offices enjoy views of the backyard. “The house is very spacious, with large rooms, corridors, and bright spaces. These qualities make it possible to create places designated to study or work in various rooms,” the seller said. “In the current setup, there are two offices … at two different ends of the main floor, allowing for each of us to have our own privacy to work, both looking toward the backyard, which makes them very bright during the whole day.”
The first floor also has a laundry, mudroom, two partial baths, access out to the attached three-car garage, and one of the six bedrooms—this one, with an en-suite bath. The remaining bedrooms are on the second level, including the expansive primary suite—a large bedroom with a fireplace, plus a sitting room, dressing room, two walk-in closets, a luxurious en-suite bath, and a private balcony.

plus a full bath.
The house is sited down a long driveway, nestled among 1.62 acres of land, with deer-resistant landscaping and a pool. “The backyard has a large stone patio [off] the eat-in kitchen, when then leads to the yard,” the seller explained. “The backyard is surrounded by a hill and ends in the woods. From the patio, you can also go down stone steps toward the swimming pool area, finding different spots for recreation and entertaining.” “The house feels totally secluded, surrounded by nature,” the seller described the setting. A 9-foot fence has been cleverly incorporated into the tree line around the backyard’s perimeter. “There is a beautiful magnolia tree toward the end of the swimming pool area, by a retaining wall. Every spring, this magnolia comes to life, bringing great color to the backyard.”
“We loved the location,” he added, citing the property’s proximity to shopping, the hospital, local schools, Greenwich Avenue, the train station, and access ramps to major commuting routes.
