Summer Has Arrived In Old Greenwich, Connecticut

Share News:

Old Greenwich has us dreaming of sunny days by the pool. The low-key area is actually the oldest of Greenwich’s neighborhoods and offers a true small town feel. 

Mansion Global calls it a neighborhood for ‘Quieter’ money. And the two homes we feature in this Splurge vs. Steal offer so much beauty for the price! Each Old Greenwich gem comes with a prime location and lush greenspace but with price points that are miles apart. Which is more you, the Shore Road Splurge or the Ferris Drive Steal? Let us know in the comments!

Splurge: Dreamy Old Greenwich Estate With Lush Outdoor Oasis For $4.595M

First, let’s gaze at this dreamy Old Greenwich estate. The five-bedroom, five-full-and-one-half-bathroom home sits on a rare 0.55-acre lot and epitomizes luxury living indoors and out. 

Step inside to find nearly 7,000 square feet of light filled living. This includes gorgeous hardwoods and millwork, tidy floor-to-ceiling built-ins, fireplaces, and French doors with lush views.

The exquisite open floor plan is filled with spaces that promote easy living, with an open gourmet kitchen to the huge family room, a formal dining, and home office. But it’s what’s outside that really catches our eye.

You might never want to leave this picturesque and private lawn! It comes complete with a sparkling pool and towering trees. The listing says, “The backyard oasis is truly unique. The heated swimming pool with integrated spa and flagstone terrace with built-in grill allows you to embrace the outdoors.”

And this gem sits around the corner from the Village and beach, making it the quintessential Old Greenwich family home.

Steal: Stately Colonial With Massive Deck, Mature Trees, And Greenspace For $1.375M

For a few million less, you could set your sights on this stately Colonial, also in Old Greenwich. It’s filled with charm and comes with massive deck and mature lot that has as tranquil look and feel. 

The 2014 renovated home has a new kitchen and baths, plus tons of natural light. You’ll love the generous layout featuring four-bedrooms and four-full-and-one-half-baths. There is also a lower level game room and bonus office or studio. 

And there is so much potential to make it your own – especially outdoors. You can put in a pool and spa or leave it as is and enjoy the sights and sounds of the enchanting nature “rooms” that surround the Old Greenwich estate.

Living here means beings minutes to the local library, park, and train. Per the listing, it’s important to note, “Zillow states inaccurately that it sold in January 2020 for $1, 950,000, it last sold in 1985 and has been rented for the last six years.”

So that’s that folks! Do your homework and take a closer look with the virtual tour.
