Round Hill, Estate of the Day

Filed under: Estates

Now that Mel Gibson's Old Mill Farm finally sold we need a new Greenwich, Connecticut classic to obsess over. Presented for your consideration is this great estate, a pre-war French Normandy with views of the New York City skyline and Long Island Sound. The home has two double-gated driveways that lead you through the 22 acre property passing by rolling lawns, boxwood gardens, rose and flower gardens and even a stone lion on the way to the large main house. But here alas is where our journey ends, that's right, this $33 million listing doesn't have a single inside picture. The listing description tells of classically scaled rooms, leaded glass, French doors, carved motifs and a circular stairway. The eight bedroom home has a master suite with dual bedrooms and dressing rooms, a kitchen with breakfast room, butler and service pantries, billiard, exercise and media rooms. The property has both indoor and outdoor pools, gazebos and a greenhouse with a fireplace. The listing calls it "a must see for anyone who wants the best." I just want to see inside!

[Thanks, James!]
