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 & 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 & exterior of the home features historic elements from original fir wood floors, skim coated keen cement plaster walls & exposed decorative rafters. The home is perched on granite outcroppings & 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 & 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 & 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.
