Northwood, Estate of the Day

Filed under: Estates

This estate on around 4.25 acres in Greenwich, Connecticut looks like one of the area's older homes but it was built just a few years ago. Classic Tudor styling and the use of reclaimed materials give this home a vintage look (although the use of ornate floor mosaics does give it away as a more recent build). The home opens into a 40-foot turret entry foyer with sweeping staircase and an antique balustrade. There is a gourmet Clive Christian kitchen and large family room with coffered ceiling. The expansive library welcomes guests with a 19th century bar. The reception area leads to a formal dining room and grand living room with French doors. Amid all the nods to older styling, this house is also up to date with the latest technology, it has a smart house system with Crestron system advantage lighting. This eight-bedroom property is listed at $15.9 million.

Point of View, Estate of the Day

Greenwich, Connecticut has a new top listed real estate property. The market in the tony town is now crowned by Point of View, a six-bedroom waterfront estate on over four acres with views overlooking Long Island Sound. The property also has a four-bedroom carriage house and the very unusual detail of a 175-foot suspension bridge that extends to a stone pier. The bridge was designed by John Roebling, the engineer who created the Brooklyn Bridge.

The home was built in 1903 and as listing pictures show, the home is full of the art of the former owners, the late Norman and Suzanne Hascoe. The Hascoes' collection of Czech modernist art, Old Master paintings and historic furniture will be auctioned off by Sotheby's early next year. The stone residences is on 340 feet of shoreline. Features include a 35-foot-high, marble-floored atrium gallery. A semi-circular, window-walled living room makes the most of the views and library/gallery spaces are arranged on the main and garden levels. Another truly amazing space is the natatorium/ballroom with an elaborate mosaic floor that lowers with the touch of a button to transform into the indoor swimming pool. This home is listed at $42.5 million.
