In what Houlihan Lawrence maintains is the highest waterfront selling price so far this year in the Greenwich market, 23 Smith Road in the Belle Haven section has been sold for $27.75 million.
The waterfront estate is on a peninsula encompassing over 5 acres on a private road with an extensive 681 feet of shoreline on Greenwich Harbor.
Sally Maloney was the listing agent of the property.
The 1939 residence was designed by noted 20th-century architects Henry O. Chapman Jr. and Harold Beder, and was the original home of Oliver D. Mead, a banker and lumber company executive.
The residence, which was renovated and expanded to 8,100-plus square feet by its current owners, includes interiors by designers Cullman and Kravis of New York.
In addition to a wraparound waterfront terrace with fireplace, the property includes seven bedrooms served by eight baths, a four-season radiant-heated solarium, and a family room/casual dining area walled with windows that adjoin a grand gourmet custom kitchen centered by two granite islands.
“Greenwich”™s 32 miles of coastline continues to captivate the attention of today”™s luxury buyers,” said David H. Haffenreffer, brokerage manager for Houlihan Lawrence”™s Greenwich office.
