The setting is spectacular! When I happened upon it I thought it must surely be a lovely estate in a small hamlet outside of London! <img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5536739100103047138" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNn2GdR0ag0W-jVJmgoOI6thnzhc98IK3XjepTvuhYrZ_t4VaUogXKWlydc2QPiLK_5gvdfHDU0Whcehf1hmC2oXuuZG-rs-9OxHUMOacpUZqu10ye0GzlotVrr_GWELV5JCyagSgwW1AG/s400/greenwich+outside.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" />Not so, this wonderful treasure is located on almost three acres of rolling hills in Greenwich, CT - a suburb and only 45 minutes outside of NYC. <img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5536618062530478386" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBKehJoEeYwOGfxI-zPm1Rfi96syF9AitEJbqmjnPZLVllR4KcJSL2DhJz1qfxoyH6l7HJewiEKWb5SR9i72BJRRuJuTaf_6Zh2h-oizP1I12czZFpFqlFjTntXaZcfwVZZcOVBqyc3Ycu/s400/Greenwich+front+door.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" /> Let's have a tour! You enter through a gorgeous stone entry with a beautiful, arched door. <img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5536618061352205506" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_zrIIl2d8ZUG_M2XFbTpgQqmHbqVTAdocad4phoPWabj1cqLDqfnRGDZGwXiFbuETmBB5reDTM5sfixTrPLC-irNQLHgQ7CPoICx4OH5HQJwluy3OB8b9946UfbQJnT7D24ODcdCXlCMP/s400/Greenwich+Library.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" />Your first stop is the library/entry hall. Take a close look at the detailing of the walls. I love the secret wall of books that swings open to reveal a doorway. Also look at the staircase through the doorway. <img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5536612423909383714" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifZFUNZSlDX2dQoZFR8XuQhFJ492-J6AvSuKFiBQfYURM4Wkxk4F0-hm5luneaUXlhJRwVCYpW9d1XS4oiyarvYVcFWyTN4QHqFq0pgn8s_0njtqRdqvFaqCHVWzi-2WsAeueNURazOZz6/s400/greenwich+foyer.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" /> Here is a closer look at the staircase. I adore the railing and soft curve.<img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5536612452478141394" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7_NYXZs_3irPC0tR7DGHi62xdAruruR_OdZoA6UpEHT3pvR5cQJNDBlcOPL3gbpXTx4LA2TgoX7ZJYBw66BHJKXRh6mLjIDtR8hZTK34ZQMbdugvJsNdYpWp3UW7Mc6C5JPRAwwCUvtVH/s400/Greenwich+pass+thru.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" /> A glass and stone gallery leads you the living room. <img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5536612447785204434" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOdt5hJ2TDSisNxpZaMAAr-R3wC8hjCVcFmMrme5bCHmMK4MLxQff2OwH6Mx4Y_6n8RjKHiyrRCXbshUvtLv-xY6J9VgGCJHJerh1M8v5VvTtOOLAwbHO5JZSlHyK-Cdqi4h5fldq2v1NY/s400/Greenwich+LR.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" /> The house is filled with period mouldings, leaded glass and limestone fireplaces. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5G3nZkQnd0oNhRuSJP5wI8IRXES8-qJCAhWkT0g8WKrPXKYEVxz8OmFxZOyALfAZCjvEv22P3vz6CeuJEHW6VdkimwF9eS0rYgetmxDtD-rH-sL62i4Ts04JqQMSOTG9b9EXC42wM8QUW/s1600/Greenwich+FR.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5536619689378751938" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5G3nZkQnd0oNhRuSJP5wI8IRXES8-qJCAhWkT0g8WKrPXKYEVxz8OmFxZOyALfAZCjvEv22P3vz6CeuJEHW6VdkimwF9eS0rYgetmxDtD-rH-sL62i4Ts04JqQMSOTG9b9EXC42wM8QUW/s400/Greenwich+FR.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" /></a> I love the family room and the wall of french doors which invite you to enjoy the spectacular view. Notice the coffered ceilings.</div><div align="center"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5536612430688109426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1LX5UjYKCEBfek4b4Ond31JyPF_A6LRlT2hdSoUTSFyMZ9__lXkYcmlYHblGvyEKg8NjWaBwMA2sf9knkKs81Gaw26h92NOQQd9azmLdPe3DNzT1Y7aa5Lw0Jf4FX299eS7yxMMvKMRoP/s400/Greenwich+DR.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" /> The architectural detail in the dining room is sublime. Notice how the windows are not only trimmed out with molding, but also boxed out with column like detailing. This creates deep transitions to windows. I especially like how they kept this room white. You can enjoy the detailing with out being overwhelmed by it.<img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5536619684020650546" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_JXTiS3UIZ7nEcyrcULZFYnam_2aalzQXXC0rlVec_WKbX6BfZfVcKSNSmGe59kJyAyUElJhajB5GG5WkTLSUHiiL1x3-K-MtzqoI4YQ4TtkYZLWy6BgKhjoVLgHGU27OhBMlhKDS3NDN/s400/Greenwich+Kitchen.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" /> Despite their reputation, Tudors can be light and bright. Here the kitchen is done in white with marble and wood counters. Clearly it has been updated and renovated over the years. I like the shape of the hood. <div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitFm9RSDuozEtjRTS_mRhkQoAG5VZynHflIyDp3248Tcp9akk91IT9GKbghijvHC17rPmCSzsnEq05MU6pRROwF5leI0UlLpCV1XyK1LXsT5kVHbTRRQsTSIPEpgOrBtheSCPUTnFP0D8F/s1600/Greenwich+Great+room.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5536612459055312098" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitFm9RSDuozEtjRTS_mRhkQoAG5VZynHflIyDp3248Tcp9akk91IT9GKbghijvHC17rPmCSzsnEq05MU6pRROwF5leI0UlLpCV1XyK1LXsT5kVHbTRRQsTSIPEpgOrBtheSCPUTnFP0D8F/s400/Greenwich+Great+room.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" /></a> The nearly untouched Great Room is perhaps the home's most dramatic. The striking fireplace and wood beams are wonderful. Notice the curved floor to ceiling window. I love to see old homes restored to their original grandeur. The home is currently for sale.
