Description

Welcome to Greystone Heights. Steeped in history, this 1919 architectural gem is a classic example of the craftsman-style construction, with commanding views into the Village valley below and winter views of Smith Cove and CT College Arboretum. The home was originally built as a Tea House for a country club by Casey Hardwich to host social events, and fashion shows. The country club never came to be, but Greystone Heights remains as a private home and landmark property in the Quaker Hill Historic District. The interior and exterior of the home features historic elements from original fir wood floors, skim coated keen cement plaster walls and exposed decorative rafters. The home is perched on granite outcroppings and features a stone foundation that beautifully complements the ledges and extensive masonry including pathways, stone walls and patios. The landscape of Greystone is equally spectacular with a mixture of native and ornamental plantings, a small orchard, border gardens, pollinator meadow and native woodlands. The property has been recognized as an animal and pollinator habitat as the diversity of plant species welcomes migratory and resident birds with great viewing from Greystone's treetop perch. While the gardens are extensive there is very little routine maintenance with only a small side yard and the driveways requiring regular mowing and string trimming during the summer. Several outbuildings include a 2- car garage, carport, green house, garden shed and workshop.
