Connecticut Spiral House!
Must SeeTop 10 Florida Condos For SaleOld Greenwich was first settled and founded in 1641. One of the co-founders, Elizabeth Fones, was the niece and daughter-in-law of John Winthrop, founder and first Governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. In time, Elizabeth and her husband purchased not only what locals call the "Point," but also most of the land where Old Greenwich stands. It was first named Elizabeth Neck in her honor during the early years. Careful to retain its history, the neighborhood has the small town ambiance and its well preserved 1894 railroad station was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.
The Spiral House, sitting at the edge of Long Island Sound near the Point, was designed by Joeb Moore and is built on two levels to capture the unobstructed view of the horizon through two-story walls of glass, offering the Sound views to almost every room. Within its 4,847 square feet are four bedrooms, five baths and a long open expanse of formal living and dining interrupted only by a two-sided glass fireplace with only glass walls separating residents from the view for the entire length. The master suite has a glass wall overlooking the Sound with its own balcony, fireplace, gym, dressing room and spa bath. One more eye catching feature is a separate bath with glass bathtub side. Innovative and sleek, the home has won several awards from the American Institute of Architects and was chosen in 2013 by Interior Design magazine as "Best of the Year."
The award winning, contemporary Spiral House, in Old Greenwich, Connecticut directly on and overlooking Long Island Sound is priced at $5.595 million.
