8 Hillcrest Lane , Old Greenwich, CT 06870(Fairfield County)

This lovely 4 bedroom home sits on a very private 1.55 acre lot in the Hillcrest Acres Association. Designed and built to take advantage of the majestic views afforded by its unique setting, virtually every room in the house overlooks its natural surroundings which include a pond, antique stone walls and numerous varieties of mature trees and flowering shrubs. Each season brings its own special imprint - in the spring and fall wake to the sounds of migrating ducks and geese that make a rest stop in the pond. Then come the blossoms of May and June, the lush greens of summer and the brilliant hues of autumn. And, in winter, enjoy watching the neighborhood children skate on the frozen pond. It is an 11 room house which, in addition to bedrooms, includes 3.1 baths, den, sunroom, formal dini room, family room, and living room with cathedral ceiling and dramatic floor to ceiling stone fireplace. The wood-paneled den has a wood-burning fireplace and the lower level family room is warmed by the Vermont Castings wood-burning stove. A wall of glass sliding doors in the family room open to the flagstone patio and pool area which includes an outdoor shower and pool room. An office and sauna complete the lower level. The cook's kitchen includes a Sub Zero refrigerator, Wolf gas stovetop and Bosch electric oven and dishwasher. The home has 4 zone heating and central air. Conveniently located close to Blue Ribbon North Mianus Elementary School, within 2 miles of I-95, train stations, and a short drive to downtown Greenwich and Stamford. It offers the privacy and tranquility of the backcountry with the convenience of in-town living. Sewer assessment $2100/year, remaining balance is $11,069.12.
