Charming Colonial in the Heart of Greenwich
A sundrenched, in-town 5 bedroom colonial, steps away from shopping and schools, affords an open and airy floor plan providing wonderful flow. Built in 1933 this gracious 2334 sq. ft. home boasts hardwood floors, lofty ceilings and unique vintage details and sits on .19 acres of well-manicured, beautifully landscaped property. Recent upgrades include the cedar shingle roof and copper gutters.
A quaint, new white picket fence graces the front of this delightful residence adding to its genuine curb appeal. Step through the latched gate to a lush lawn, punctuated by mature hydrangea and rhododendron bushes. A welcoming, large front porch with an inviting Dutch door leads into a stately entryway. The generous formal living room is bathed in natural light from the front facing bay windows and unfolds into the elegant dining room, complete with a wood-burning fireplace and swinging door to the butler's pantry. The casual living room, centered around another fireplace, expands into the bright kitchen, providing a perfect backdrop for intimate gatherings. A small mudroom, powder room and side porch entry sit just conveniently off the family room, rounding out the main level.
A spacious master bedroom, three additional bedrooms and a full bath comprise the sunlit second level.
The top floor provides an additional private home office or bedroom, with a small landing space and easy access to a walk-in attic.
A full bathroom and laundry room are located in the unfinished lower level, offering endless potential for additional recreational living space.
The side porch accesses the detached two-car garage, and pristine level backyard with a private stone terrace. Ideally located on the same street as Brunswick Academy and just steps away from Greenwich Academy, Whole Foods and the esteemed Greenwich Avenue shopping and dining district. Convenient to the train and major highways to New York City.
A charming home close to it all!

Listing Price: $2.195M
We currently have 690 properties for sale in all of Greenwich. For the month of June we sold 99 places compared to 110 in 2013, thus continuing the trend of 10% behind in activity. In July we have sold 60 properties month to date, which is on pace for the 113 we sold last year.
The couple of positives in the market is that we have 110 properties that have met all of their contingencies and are just waiting for a close date. With another 71 properties that are under contingent contract. Another of the positives vs. last year is the luxury market, we have sold 8 properties over $10M which is more than all of last year. When you look at the charts you will see the market leans more and more toward the buyer as you go up in price range. This shows that this is the best time to trade up in price range. If you can sell in the $2M-$3M range you will have a market where the buyers are looking, but if you buy in the $3M-$5M range you will buy in a market where it is less competitive.
I have invested in my own MLS Search for my readers. This will give access to a lot of the listing information I have. Also, if I have already set you up with your personal portal, you will now be able to search your own searches outside of what I set up for you. Feel free to test out and search properties. I feel the best attribute is that you can save your own search and choose to get alerts as new properties come on to the market, properties are sold, or change in price. All specific to your customized search. Hence, you will speed up your learning curve, becoming an expert in the specific market you care about.
