In the heart of historic Greenfield Hill sits the most spectacular Georgian Colonial Fairfield County has to offer. Steeped in history yet renovated to perfection, this house offers the best of both worlds.
This gorgeous home has recently undergone a complete and thorough renovation by Paul Tallman Builders and Baker Batchelder Architects, resulting in generously proportioned rooms and stunning additions that are both modern and harmonious with its historic importance. All of the floors, systems, windows and walls have been replaced… no expense was spared to bring the house to the highest standard expected by today’s discriminating buyer.
The main house features 5 gracious bedrooms, all en suite, high ceilings, and an addition on the east wing with vaulted ceiling and slate roof opening onto the rear terrace, which has an outdoor fireplace and numerous sitting areas all overlooking the new pool and spa. The 2 and one half acre level property is beautifully landscaped with specimen trees and an expansive lawn.
There is also a wonderful circa 1900 Barn that was recently completely rebuilt and restored by noted Southport architect, Mark Finlay. It houses an 8-car collector’s garage, a separate apartment with kitchen, bedroom, living room, laundry room and full bath. Above it all is a 1,500 square foot loft suitable for parties or a home office.
Originally built in 1750, the house has served as an intellectual, literary and political forum for its owners over the years. Most notable among its former owners was Abraham Baldwin who was an American founding father and contributing writer of the U.S Constitution. In addition to being a Senator and Congressman from the State of Georgia, Baldwin was the founder and first President of the University of Georgia. Baldwin originally came to CT to attend Yale University. In fact, the Yale mascot, the Bulldog, was adopted in tribute to his Georgian roots. Among his many frequent houseguests was Tallyrand, who was the Prime Minister of France, and considered to be one of the most influential diplomats in European history while serving as Napoleon’s chief aide.
