You're not from an old European family but maybe you wish you were and that there were an aging manor to inherit (with minimal upkeep of course). Those seeking the manor life within the U.S. (and within easy striking distance of New York City) often seem to come to Greenwich, Connecticut. Laurel Court is in the Khakum Wood area and has over eight acres of land. The 13,000 square foot stone manor was designed by architect H.T. Lindeberg and built in 1927. Classic details such as ornate plaster work, leaded glass windows, plank floors and ten fireplaces speak to the past. The land includes a pool, natural rock outcroppings and private lake and a separate four room, one bath apartment. It is listed at $19.7 million and includes an extra lot. After the jump, the 40-foot living room.
