Description

Set on 2.88 beautiful acres in a prized Greenwich location this 1878 Colonial Farmhouse, ''Oak Hill,''is imbued with a quiet sense of history and permanence. Framed by mature trees and open lawn, the original house has evolved into a graceful 6 bed/6 bath home that feels both grounded and inviting. The approach is discreet, the architecture classic with oak floors, multiple fireplaces, raised paneling, arched bookcases, and well-scaled rooms. The dining room retains its original flushboard wainscoting....Set on 2.88 beautiful acres in a prized Greenwich location this 1878 Colonial Farmhouse, ''Oak Hill,''is imbued with a quiet sense of history and permanence.

A multi-story barn adds a compelling layer, offering potential for a guest house or garaging. Brick terraces, charming gardens and a wisteria-draped trellis create a serene and private outdoor setting. A true New England original!
