8 Saint Claire Ave, Old Greenwich, CT 06870

South of the village in Old Greenwich is a state of the art, newly constructed, sustainable home designed by award winning architects: Andrew Kotchen and Workshop adk, N.Y.C. With precision and care, this high performance home was precisely built and executed by the developers: True North Partners. No home in Greenwich, with the goal for LEED Gold Certification has been created for the real estate market. However, for the first time, True North Partners has produced a home that incorporates fine elements of design with long term value of energy efficiency, and indoor environmental air quality. The property embraces the privacy of a natural and private environment and provides a prime location within walking distance to town, school and the beach. The 4/5 bedrooms home of 4800 sq. ft., offers a contemporary expression of sleek architectural details creating extraordinary effects of space and scale. The first floor features an open floor plan filled with natural light. The two-story living room is centered by a magnificent steel fireplace. The gourmet kitchen, with a bamboo butcher block island, Caesar Stone surfaces and Energy Star appliances leads to dining room and media room. An en suite bedroom/library, sizable laundry and additional powder room complete the first floor. The back of the house opens out to an outdoor space with mahogany terraces and a contained, manicured back yard. The second floor features the master bedroom/changing area/ master bath and large porch creating a lovely indoor/outdoor space with privacy. Upstairs there are two additional en suite bedrooms for children or guests. The 'Green' carpeted finished lower level with windows and a side entrance is expansive and perfect for an au pair suite, playroom, wine cellar or whatever the buyer chooses. There is an attached garage with powder coated garage doors and a Belgium block driveway. The home is equipped with many special features: Geo-thermal heating and cooling system, the Lucid Building Dashboard Network (to monitor water and electricity usage in real time), Vacuflo central vacuum system, state of the art stereo system throughout with Ipod docks and touch screens, Security system and a home emergency generator.
