“Carriglea”

We are pleased to offer this remarkable Riverside landmark, built in 1922 of stone and half-timber, with a heavy slate roof, high on a landscaped knoll overlooking the water. The original estate, built for Florence White, Managing editor of the New York World newspaper, comprised nearly 20 acres which was later to become Carriglea Drive, a quiet lane with a neighborhood association sandy beach.

A new formal courtyard frames the entry. The interior features handsome paneling, stone fireplaces, beamed ceilings, a manual rope elevator, a wonderful stone tower with window seats, and even a small chapel with stained glass windows, stone walls, two pews and an altar. The front-to-back living room and adjacent stone-walled “studio” have fireplaces. A south-facing sunroom opens to the terrace and overlooks the 1.16 acre lawn with its charming gazebo with fireplace.  The dining room has a beamed ceiling. There is an inviting red-painted study, kitchen with Garland commercial range and butler’s pantry, and a separate breakfast room. Upstairs, a lovely master suite has a sitting room with decorative fireplace, large bath, sundeck, dressing room, and stair to the tower. There are three additional bedrooms and an office. Two large rooms, one with fireplace, are in the basement. Manageable in scale and meticulously maintained over the years, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Greenwich past, as the legacy of one generation passes to another.
