Luxurious modern homes updated with respect for their historic origins are often lauded for blending the old and the new. Dating to 1905, this handsome Georgian Revival exemplifies that rarefied combination. Its classic façade, a silhouette characteristic of early 20th century design, belies the sleek and chic aesthetic of its interiors, which are the result of a meticulous renovation and expansion by Alisberg Parker Architect. Concurrently, they mindfully retained vintage elements which serve as reminders of the home's provenance and its enduring place in the history of Greenwich.

The four-level home is anchored by a historic staircase that links the upper floors while flooding the residence with natural light. The residence begins with an inviting front to back living and a formal dining room each with a fireplace. The Gourmet kitchen features custom cabinetry, an impressive suite of appliances, a large quartz topped center island and a custom banquette for family dining. The adjacent Family Room with customs built-ins and walls of windows serves as the heart of the home for casual entertaining around the fireplace and opens to both an expansive terrace and an outdoor covered porch with a wood burning fireplace that converts to a screened porch or three season room with a push of a button.

One level above is the sumptuous Owner's Suite with a spacious bedroom and fireplace, two custom dressing rooms and access to a private sundeck. The luxurious Bardiglio marble accented bathroom is anchored by soaking tub, a large steam shower, two custom sinks and vanity and a private water closet. Three additional bedrooms and two bathrooms, a versatile playroom along with a laundry room complete this level. On the third floor are three more bedrooms, two bathrooms and a secluded office. Entertaining is the order of the day on the lower level, which offers a home theater and lounge, a temperature-controlled 4,500-bottle wine cellar, and a thoughtfully outfitted mirrored gym.

While style is clearly paramount in this one-of-a-kind home, the practicalities of modern living are far from overlooked with a well-equipped mudroom, three-car garage and three powder rooms. The down to the studs project also included all new windows, insulation, generator, heated driveway and modern mechanicals including Geo-Thermal power.

The 2.10 private backyard is a green and serene oasis highlighted by level verdant lawn, the new pool and pool house, a large vegetable garden and a firepit creating an enviable escape just steps to Greenwich Avenue. The pool house won an award for its design and easy living layout. It features a spacious family room with "nano" doors for indoor/outdoor living, changing rooms, a bathroom with outdoor shower, an outdoor kitchen and dining area. The pool has built in spa and automatic cover.

Rocklawn offers an unprecedented package of amenities, yet Greenwich Avenue, local landmarks and attractions, houses of worship and public transportation are all within easy reach.
