At its soul, this estate set in the private neighborhood of Edgar Manor Association in Greenwich, CT, is a 1923 English manor with loads of storybook charm, but thoughtful renovations give a modern sensibility to each space. “The current owners have a large, active family and they restored and renovated with that in mind,” says real estate agent Tracey Koorbusch of Sotheby’s International Realty in Greenwich.
Coming through the arched wooden door, guests are greeted with herringbone floors, and an open-concept living room, dining room and gourmet kitchen. Bright white cabinets, a rich wood-paneled island with marble top, gold hardware and black paneled sliding glass doors to the patio give the kitchen a modern feel, but blend with the home’s historic touches. Top-of-the-line appliances include a 60-inch Wolf range, Sub-Zero refrigerator and two Miele dishwashers, while just off the kitchen, a scullery has a built-in Miele espresso system and True beverage refrigerator. Leaded windows accent the cabinets and complement the wine storage in the dining room, which can be seen from both rooms. Brick accents, wide arched doorways and beamed ceilings can be found throughout the main floor. A lounge room has a full-sized bar and cozy stone-surround fireplace. “The bar is spectacular—cozy, moody and well-equipped for a party,” says Koorbusch. “You feel like you are at a boutique hotel.”
Sliding doors lead to the patio with brick exterior and a wood-beamed ceiling framing the space. The expansive patio has an outdoor kitchen, space for dining and lounging, and an outdoor fireplace. A few steps lead down to the in-ground heated saltwater pool and landscaped grounds. “I love the beautiful outdoor living spaces, including the heated covered terrace, outdoor fireplace, saltwater pool and the most charming side flower and vegetable garden surrounding a water fountain,” says Koorbusch.
The current owners have spent five years updating the home and have opted to do a pre-list building inspection so the future owners will have any homeownership concerns addressed beforehand. “They are even offering a furnished option if someone would prefer to just unpack and start enjoying,” she adds.
The listing has garnered interest from young families looking to move to the area, and downsizers coming from backcountry Greenwich, says Koorbusch. The home is minutes from downtown and schools. “Alden Road is a hidden gem,” she attests. “It’s a private late, minutes to town, schools, and transportation. Most of the homes are the original stone and brick homes perched on rolling hills overlooking multiple acres….Thirty-six Alden is an inspiration for anyone interested in, but skeptical about renovating, an older home.”
