This newly listed estate was built in 1903 and is located on Field Point Circle in Greenwich, CT. The 20,000 square foot mansion boasts 6 bedrooms and 9 full and 7 half bathrooms. It is listed at a cool $42,500,000, which makes it the most expensive home currently on the market in Greenwich. My absolute favorite part of this home is the ballroom that turns into a natatorium. Wow!! What an amazing room!!

HERE ARE THE LISTING DETAILS:

In prestigious Field Point Park, this splendid century-old Long Island Sound compound is one of Greenwich’s most significant waterfront estates. Masterfully renovated, the expansive 6-bedroom, 20,000±-sq ft stone residence sits commandingly on 4.26± acres fronting 340 feet of shoreline showcasing magnificent vistas encompassing Greenwich Point and harbor islands. Inside, the grand 35-foot-high, marble-floored atrium gallery serves as a pivotal space from which the first-floor rooms unfold, beginning with the semi-circular, window-walled living room bringing in panoramic waterfront scenery. Library/gallery spaces are arranged on the main and garden levels, where a dramatic natatorium/ballroom features an elaborate mosaic floor that lowers with the touch of a button to transform into the indoor swimming pool. Waterside terraces are featured, and the sweeping park-like grounds encompass a pool, guest house, and guest cottage alongside the historic Roebling 175±-foot suspension bridge.

This home, which was built in 2006, is located at 16 Skyridge in the exclusive Pelican Crest community in Newport Beach, CA. Like most of the homes in the area, this one has spectacular views of the ocean, city and surrounding hills. The 11,893 square foot  mansion is situated on .60 acres of land which makes it one of the larger lots in the pricy subdivision. All of the homes in Pelican Crest sit on .35 to .65 acres of land which isn’t all that much, but the views make up for it! The estate boasts 7 bedrooms (2 master suites – main and second level), 10 bathrooms, formal living and dining rooms, 6 fireplaces, den, 2 offices, bonus room, two launry rooms, home theater, wine cellar, elevator, sauna/steam room, exercise room, indoor swimming pool, patio with fireplace, 2 outdoor built-in barbecues, outdoor infinity swimming pool and spa and a subterranean garage that fits 10 or more cars with direct access from the lower street for easy access. It is listed at $12,888,000.

I’m quite fond of the exterior and the grounds, but the interior is a little too mish-mash for my taste. I would definitely change some of  the decor and wall color choices.
