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!

We currently have 676 properties for sale in all of Greenwich, only down eleven from last week.
In the amount of transactions July was disappointing. We had 95 properties close vs 113 last July. You may continue to hear that average sold prices have gone up. That can be attributed to the market over $10M is way up over last year. We had three more properties close over $10M in the month of July bringing us ytd to 11, not to mention the most expensive sold property in the US at $120M. We only had 8 properties sell over $10M all year last year. Hence, the average prices are going to rise.
If you look at the months on average to sell through the inventory I believe it best shows the market. I have done two reports, one based on last year's activity and one based on this year's activity. You will see that across the board the months on average are down year to date, which may seem counter intuitive if I am saying that the transactions are down. However, the end of July is typical when the least amount of inventory is out there, due to being past the spring market and before the fall market. Hence, when you compare it to the chart with the 2013 activity you see that the months on average are higher.
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.
