Privacy abounds in historic Greenfield Hill
Steve Gold, the luxury real estate broker featured on the Bravo television series, “Million Dollar Listing New York,” knows style and panache when he sees it. The Stamford native and colisting agent for this unique wood and stone center hall colonial in Fairfield’s historic Greenfield Hill recognizes the appeal that the 12-room, 10,214-square-foot home offers.
“There’s a lot that’s special about this house; the convenience of a newer home with character and a sense of style that new homes are usually devoid of, especially in this price point,” Gold said. But what stands out to his colisting partner, Tara Hawley, is the incredible privacy. “The home is on a private gated road with only three homes and is abutted by Aspetuck Land Trust in the back,” Hawley said. “And the deep, flat backyard is a perfect place to build your dream retreat with a pool and pool house.”
The home sits at the end of a winding cul-de-sac on almost five acres of manicured grounds. The sixbedroom home offers a country like retreat, while being just minutes away from easy access to Manhattan. Guests are welcomed into a foyer with a grand staircase clad in intricate, crisp white moldings with contrasting dark hardwood floors. Off the foyer, the dining room is deal for both an intimate dinner party or a large gathering. Its fireplace and elegant formal wainscoting and ceiling treatment make this a welcoming and cozy space for dining and entertaining. Equally as impressive is the formal living room, accented with elaborate moldings, columns, and fireplace. In the family room, sunlight streams in through skylights in the cathedral ceiling, highlighting a wall of custom built-in bookcases and cabinetry that create the perfect entertainment center. A striking floorto-ceiling fieldstone fireplace serves as a stunning focal point. French doors open to the expansive stone patio with built-in grill, extending
the living space in the warmer months.
The spacious chef’s kitchen boasts a suite of top-ofthe-line appliances including a Wolf six-burner range, island with breakfast bar, and a sunny dining area with French doors to the patio offering picturesque views of the sprawling rear lawn. Down the hall from the kitchen is a bedroom and bath, ideal for guest or au pair accommodations. A richly appointed home office is adorned with custom cherry built-ins, matching coffered ceiling, and walls with suede inlay. The room’s polished interior offers a professional backdrop for virtual meetings, while maintaining a warm and inviting space for a productive remote working environment. A bonus room with coffered ceiling has been transformed into a sophisticated workout room with mirrored wall and ample space for fitness equipment, as well as aerobic, dance, or yoga workouts. A three-season porch with bluestone flooring complements the home’s main living space.
On the upper level, the master bedroom offers an ideal escape to unwind among a built-in entertainment center adorned with intricate millwork, sitting area with fireplace, coffered ceiling with recessed lighting, and luxurious en-suite bath with walk-in shower and jacuzzi tub. There is also a separate dressing room and an abundance of closet space. Three additional bedrooms, all en-suite and generously proportioned, offer ample space and privacy for family and guests. The third level has been finished as a studio apartment with ensuite bath and living area featuring a curved window seat.
Enjoy casual entertaining, recreation, and relaxation on the lower level, which is complete with a game room, music room, and a custombuilt wine cellar with built-in humidor and tasting room.
