Set on over 11 prime country acres, this chic shaker style farmhouse perfectly epitomizes casual elegance. The original owners commissioned Deborah Berke of world renowned architect and interior design firm, Deborah Berke Partners, famous for recent collaboration on iconic 432 Park Avenue in NYC, to create a classic shaker farmhouse on this majestic piece of land in the heart of Conyer Farms. From the time you enter the gates, you are taken in by the vistas of open meadows and wildflowers as far as the eye can see. Up a winding driveway the home comes into view, recalling a time gone by yet modern in every way - perfectly fitted to the landscape and its surroundings. As you enter the home, you are welcomed to a long and wide gallery, ideal for any art collection,which connects the formal rooms, all opening directly onto the splendid rear patio via french doors. The rear of the home is great for entertaining large gatherings where you will take in the tranquility of the urban escape interrupted only by the occasional wildlife. Just beyond the wildflowers, the pool and well equipped pool house are wrapped with a bluestone patio. Inside the home you will find gracious rooms and surprises at every bend, spread over the two main levels and finished lower level. Bedrooms abound each with their own character and adjoining lavatories while daylight fills this home through the many windows showcasing the natural surroundings. The Conyers Farm enclave has a legacy within Greenwich's rich history. Conyers Farm was established by U.S. Steel founder Edmund C. Converse in 1904. It was named after the Old English spelling of Converse's name. To acquire the land for Conyers Farm, Converse purchased and consolidated 20 farms. Initially, he was the sole owner of the property, which consisted of a main house and several other buildings that served as quarters for 200 workers that maintained the farm. Since its century long history, it has played host to dignitaries, U.S. Presidents, and notable figures time and time again. This exquisite example of Deborah's earlier masterpieces has been lovingly maintained since the beginning and is ready for a new stuart- you are invited to inquire.
