Classic Georgian
The clean lines of this Georgian residence in Greenwich, Connecticut give it a contemporary yet classic elegance. The five bay main block of the façade features a pedimented center bay with its limestone ionic column portico and Palladian window above. The strong presence of the main block is enhanced by detailed quoins. The graduated slate roof above with limestone topped chimneys is accented by dormers with arch top windows.
The garden façade is flanked by deep two story bays with large multi-paneled windows. Side wings are fully glazed on the first floor with French doors surrounded by decorative transoms. The mass of the side dependencies framing the main block, is lightened by the glazed arched French doors of the family room on one side and the open arches of the outdoor porch adjacent to the parlor, on the other.
The first floor plan has a simple arrangement that provides an openness to the rooms. The library is appropriately wood paneled with rift and quarter-sawn oak. The parlor has a distinctly French flair, with applied panel treatment and foliate decorated plaster cornice. For the family room, high paneling provides an elegant yet cozy effect, capped by a coffered cove plaster ceiling.
