Description

The home you've been waiting for—a timeless 5 bedroom Colonial, thoughtfully designed and built by renowned Sound Beach Partners (SBP) in the coveted Riverside neighborhood of Greenwich, CT. Set back from the road, this sun-filled residence has stunning architectural details, luxurious finishes, 10-foot ceilings, and hardwood floors throughout. The open, modern floor plan seamlessly blends elegant formal rooms with casual living spaces, all of which open onto a private fenced yard and veranda—perfect for entertaining or relaxation.
An exceptional primary suite features soaring vaulted ceilings, a fireplace, a walk-in closet, and a private balcony. There are three additional spacious bedrooms on this level plus space on third floor that is ready for customization. The lower level has 9-foot ceilings and includes a gym, playroom and bedroom with a private bath. The guest room is easily adaptable to an office, with its own separate exterior entrance.
An additional feature is a large cedar closet with potential for conversion into a wine cellar. Expansive open lawns for outdoor play, a wraparound porch, porte-cochère, two-car garage, and a generator too. All of this is just steps from schools and the train station - an ideal location for both convenience and luxury living.
