37 Meadow Wood Dr, Greenwich, CT 06830

This spectacular brick English manor with a lovely heated pool is set on a plateau overlooking 1.4 acres bordered by non-buildable property so there is a wonderful sense of privacy and separation from neighbors in this sought after waterfront association. The driveway with a lovely stone wall sweeps to the entrance. Beautiful landscaping and gardens surround the house with a brick balustrade at the entrance with an oak door surrounded by carved limestone. The brickwork has exceptional detailing, a limestone border visually separates the levels, the roof is slate and the copper work is masterful. The two-story center hall is spectacular with a major stairway with a graceful curve rising to twin balconies and a barrel-arched ceiling. The generous living room with a fireplace has a beamed ceiling, windows on three sides including arched ones to the front and french doors to the flagstone-floored solarium which becomes a screened porch in summer with an arcade of arches. The octagonal solarium is full of light, and there is a wet bar. The formal dining room with a fireplace has a bay window and the charming panelled library with a fireplace has wonderful cabinetry. The family room/kitchen is the heart of the house with a fireplace, an island and glass doors to the broad terrace with a stone fireplace plus there is a powder room, a bath for the pool, a mudroom and a heated three-car garage. The luxurious master suite has a fireplace, french doors to two terraces, an octagonal sitting room with a peaked wooden ceiling, a dressing room and a steam shower and a sauna. There are four bedrooms and three sparkling baths plus a stairway to the attic. On the lower level are two wonderful rooms with fireplaces, one used as a second family room, while the other is used an exercise room, plus there is a computer room and an octagonal brick wine cellar. Built with real quality in 1988 and nicely renovated since, this wonderful house with wide board, pegged oak floors and solid oak doors has been decorated with a very inviting feel and is in move-in condition. The gardens are a pleasure as are several charming terraces. Only 112 properties enjoy all the benefits of Belle Haven with bicycling and walking from the front door on privately patrolled roads close to town with the Belle Haven Club at the end of the street.
