Greenwich, CT – a thriving coastal town 40 minutes away from NYC

Greenwich is consistently ranked among the best places to live in Connecticut. This waterfront town offers a convenient commute to midtown Manhattan, great schools, and various cultural attractions, including art galleries and museums. Beautiful nature is another advantage of Greenwich. With countless parks, courts, and beaches, you can feel like every weekend here is a vacation. 

There are many exciting options for sale to choose from. Here is one: a 3-bedroom waterfront home with a private dock. Built in 1906, this house offers modern living with historical details. The light-filled living room is overlooking a covered deck perfectly set above the Mianus River. The bright and spacious primary suite has a fireplace and a balcony, where you can enjoy beautiful water views and sunsets all year round. 

The floating dock and private access to the river create the perfect place to relax or entertain. You are invited to enjoy kayaking, swimming, and canoeing in the summer and ice skating in the winter. Everything is ready for immediate occupancy and is waiting for the new owner to move in. 

If you are someone who appreciates unique homes, this might be the one for you: a 19th-century church converted into a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom house. This picture-perfect home has high ceilings and tall windows that bring lots of natural light. There is also a massive Venetian chandelier placed in the center of the living room. 

The church was renovated and rebuilt in 2007 but kept most of the building’s original architecture. It has a historic exterior facade and a modern indoor space. This is a great alternative to a condo. Once you become the owner, you can list this distinct home on Airbnb or have it all to yourself. The annual return for this property will be 4.75 percent.

The proximity to New York City, beautiful nature, and highly-rated public schools make Greenwich especially popular among families looking to expand their living space. The average home in Greenwich receives two offers and usually goes into contract in 30 days. Do not hesitate to reach out if you are interested to learn more about homes in this area.
