Greenwich WOW House: Own a Piece of Greenwich History

An historic Mead house built in 1798 has hit the Greenwich market.

The colonial home of Colonel Thomas Mead was built as a wedding gift from his father. The magnificent in-town colonial home has a rich and vibrant history that includes General Lafayette having entertained at this notable landmark in 1824.

Originally located where Greenwich Library stands today at the corner of West Putnam Avenue and Dearfield Drive, the home was moved in 1929 and reassembled at 8 Grove Ln., according to the listing.

The listing describes the home this way:

“This well maintained home has a gracious floor plan with an 12-foot by 33’-foot center hall with opposing Dutch doors. It is an elegant home with large 12 over 12 windows and spacious rooms of balanced proportions.

This pretty center hall colonial includes 5 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, 4 fireplaces and a magnificent post and beam heated unfinished third floor with an extremely high ceiling and fireplace. There is also a wonderful room with lots of character, waiting to be finished for any type of use.”

Eight Grove Lane is described as a picturesque, quiet neighborhood in the heart of town, within walking distance to Greenwich Avenue, the hospital, library and train.

The price is $2,645,000. For a photo tour of the home, click here.

The home is listed by Curt Wood and Agi Zwierz, two of Greenwich brokers of William Raveis Real Estate.
