Charming character blends with remodeled luxury in this mid-country colonial built in the 1840s and recently renovated by well-known architect Rob Sanders. “In essence, 68 Doubling Road is a beautiful antique house with all the benefits of new construction,” says real estate agent Marijane Bates Hvolbeck of Sotheby’s International Realty in Greenwich. Guests enter to a traditional center hall foyer. The paneled library is a stunning remodel with high ceilings raised into the former attic space and a wood- burning fireplace. “It overlooks a lovely stone terrace with bubbling antique fountain,” says Hvolbeck.
Details such as beamed ceilings in the living and dining room, wood-burning fireplaces, built-in bookshelves, a solarium and a stone terrace, give this home lots of character. A gourmet kitchen is the heart of this home with butler’s pantry, custom cabinets, a large center island and top-of-the-line appliances. Upstairs, the master suite has a cozy sitting room, double closets and a spa-like master bathroom with radiant heated floor. A 1,700-square-foot guest house with sauna and plunge pool makes for a perfect sanctuary. “Many buyers today relish having the convenience of luxury-level amenities such as gyms and saunas in their homes, especially those buyers who may be moving out of NYC and are accustomed to these building amenities,” added Hvolbeck.
The large gourmet kitchen of this renovated antique colonial has a butler’s pantry, custom cabinetry and a wall of windows overlooking the grounds.
