New American House in Greenwich
The European owners of this house wanted an American home that suited both formal occasions and casual family living. The completed project includes white clapboard, a widow’s walk and cupola to see the Long Island Sound, and a whale weathervane. From the street, this residence assumes a symmetrical facade, indicative of a traditional Georgian-style residence; however the rear, with its canted wing, maximizes the views of the undulating three-acre property not visible from the road. On the first floor, the large, high-ceilinged rooms easily flow from one to the other. A butler’s pantry creates the transition between the main block and an expansive open-plan kitchen and family room culminating in a rounded, faceted endpoint, providing a 260-degree view of the lawn, gardens, pool and pool house, and stone cottage.
