Although it's been three years since I checked out an Ulrich Franzen house, I knew that this Greenwich, Connecticut house had a familiar look. Some architects carry their mark into every home. Several of Franzen's homes look like giant oceanliners steaming over the landscape. This 1992 home is on seven acres overlooking a lake. The most striking feature of the home is a large two-story glass atrium. The interior is spare and modern with concrete, granite and marble. The five-bedroom home also an elevator, an indoor pool, media, exercise and billiard rooms. Outside a granite terrace surrounds a Shoreline pool with cabana and faces an illuminated tennis court. There is also a two-bedroom guest cottage and ample garage. It is listed at $13 million.
