50 Close Road, Greenwich CT

With a calculated balance between city and country styles, this Contemporary Farm House, custom built in 2013 for the owners, was a collaborative effort by architect Greg Tankersley of McAlpine and interior designer Carol Egan. The exteriors offer perfectly pitched gables, handsome dormers, clapboard siding and a cedar shake roof, all nestled on 4.15 acres of award-winning landscaping, which
hugs a nature preserve. The interiors provide a dramatic yet relaxed equilibrium of traditional and modern. Ravaged barn board adorns the ceilings while wide plank oak floors cover the floors. The
chef’s kitchen with soapstone counters and wormy Chestnut cabinets, is accessed by the Great room and the Family room, each with fireplaces, emanating quiet elegance and nuanced coloring. A main level primary master, with an expansive dressing room and luxury bath, lives off the library/den, a cozy spot for reading and personal enjoyment. The upper level provides a TV room and two ensuite bedrooms. High ceilings in the lower level afford a TV room and exercise room with powder room. The covered patio in the rear of the home, with access to a full bath and pool room, leads to the pool and level yard. Access to the garages is via a port cochere with the potential for additional living space above. You’ll never tire of the feeling you get when you arrive at this timeless country home in Greenwich, CT.
