Greenwich: Back-Country Versus Waterfront
Greenwich is situated on about 48 square miles on the Long Island Sound and offers various types of homes and neighborhoods for any lifestyle. Roughly 30 miles from Manhattan you can find the ultimate private retreat in the back-country of Greenwich. Across town, Old Greenwich offers waterfront living at its finest. Read on to learn more about these two very distinct neighborhoods in detail.
Sitting north of the Merritt Parkway and bounded by Westchester county on the west and Stamford on the east is the Back-Country sub-section of Greenwich, CT. Back-Country remains one of America’s most prestigious addresses renowned for the high level of privacy, winding lanes, and sprawling estates. Properties in Back-Country are situated on a minimum of 4 acre plots, granting ample space for guest houses, stables, and open meadows. Back-Country living means close access to private clubs with golf, tennis, and pools including Stanwich, Tamarack, and Fairview as well as close proximity to the Greenwich Polo Club and Audobon Society.
Steven Mueller Architects designed this new, Modern Farmhouse Style home located in Back-Country, Greenwich, CT. The exterior of the residence was designed incorporating traditional and transitional detailing.
