Greenvile blends traditional and contemporary living

Running your eyes over the Greenville's all-brick facade, it feels like you're gazing at a colonial manor house. Corner quoins and flat lintels with masonry keystones give authenticity to the historic styling.

On the interior, traditional and contemporary living spaces blend to meet the complex needs of a modern family. The grand entry is two stories high, illuminated by sidelights, a ribbon of windows over the door, and a graceful arched window on the second level. To the right, French pocket doors access the formal dining room. A living room with an elegant coffered ceiling is to the left.

On the opposite side of the room, a French door opens into a formal library that can also be entered through French doors from the sumptuous master suite. Luxuries in the owners' suite include a huge walk-in closet and a private bathroom with two linen closets, two basins, and a two-person shower as well as a two-person spa.

The fireplace in the window-rich family room adds warmth and coziness in winter while French doors open onto a covered porch for easy access in summer. The kitchen has abundant counter and cupboard space allowing a whole family of chefs to work at once.

Laundry facilities, including a pull-down ironing board, a deep sink, and a folding counter, are convenient to both kitchen and garage.

On the Greenville's second floor, you find a large balcony overlooking the entry, three bedrooms, a roomy dual-compartment bathroom, a laundry chute and a huge undeveloped bonus space that could become a recreation room or be left as is for storage.
