The large 20x40 oval pool is heated and surrounded by old stone walls of the former "Greenwich Beagle Club". The vast grounds with beautiful trees slope down to the Byram River, which runs along the edge of the property.
While this residence exudes the charm of an old French country house, its heating and cooling is of the future. The house is equipped with geothermal, with oil serving as a back-up. The very well insulated house uses very little oil and consequently emits less carbon. Living green in the green!

Within 10 minutes, you can reach the bustling downtown Greenwich and its train station. f one ever wanted to leave Greenwich, the Merritt Parkway is nearby but out of earshot, ready to take you to New York City.
