11 Simmons Ln Greenwich, CT 06830

Simmons Lane is the bucolic and amazingly quiet mid-country setting for this French Manor house on 2.25 acres, surrounded by 2.63 acres of forever protected Greenwich Land Trust meadows and woodlands. A new custom home designed , built and landscaped by Cheryl Skoog Tague as a personal residence with exacting care and completed with exquisite materials. There is a sense of durability and essentialness of beautiful architecture. Unsurpassed quality on all levels. Graceful, high ceilinged entrance with a view through to the back terrace and garden. A wonderful wide rear hallway framed by French doors and long windows is on axis with a fireplace on one end and the elegant, reclaimed oak staircase on the other. Front to back living room with a beamed ceiling and a fabulous wet bar. Formal dining room next to a fully outfitted butler's pantry. The library has stylish custom book cabinets and a fireplace. The kitchen is spectacular with a piece de resistance Lacanche range, a dramatic center island clad in steel, a beautiful wooden ceiling with beams and a charming breakfast room framed with a wide arched opening. The family room steps down and has a vaulted beamed ceiling and a large arched statement window. The master suite with a fireplace has a luxurious bath and an incredible dressing room with another bath and custom cabinetry. There are 4 other bedrooms with flexibility of use. A 3 car garage, a 60 ft pool and a whimsical stone pool house with a changing room bath and raised hearth fireplace. The gardens are arresting with multiple "rooms" of boxwood, perennial walks, lindens, and even a secret croquet field surrounded by tall grasses. Very special.
