Some houses tell one story.<\/p>\n

This one feels like it\u2019s juggling at least nine of them at once.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s the 222-year-old historic Connecticut home. The sleek modern architectural expansion. The restored stone carriage house connected by glass. The resort-style backyard. The architectural treehouse. The sculptural jungle gym built from telephone poles. The HOBI Award-winning redesign.<\/p>\n

And somehow, despite all of that happening at once, the entire property still feels remarkably warm and livable instead of overly serious.<\/p>\n

Located at 306 Round Hill Road in Greenwich, the gated 6-bedroom estate has hit the market for $6.995 million with Megan Sullivan of Douglas Elliman.<\/p>\n

The house started life in 1804<\/h2>\n

At its core, the property at 306 Round Hill Road<\/a> in Greenwich, Connecticut, dates all the way back to 1804.<\/p>\n

Which means this home was already standing decades before photography even existed.<\/p>\n

But unlike many historic homes that feel trapped in time, this one evolved carefully over the years instead of becoming frozen as a museum piece.<\/p>\n

Roger Ferris + Partners gave the property a major architectural reset<\/h2>\n
\"\"
Kyle Norton<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The major turning point came in 2015, when acclaimed architecture firm Roger Ferris + Partners completely reimagined the estate.<\/p>\n

Instead of simply restoring the original structure<\/a>, the architects created a much more ambitious dialogue between old and new.<\/p>\n

With expanded living spaces, smooth transitions between styles<\/h2>\n
\"\"
Kyle Norton<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A contemporary brick extension now expands the living spaces, while a sleek glass connector links the main house to the original stone carriage house.<\/p>\n

The transitions between centuries somehow feel surprisingly seamless.<\/p>\n

The redesign ended up winning a major award<\/h2>\n
\"\"
Kyle Norton<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The project ultimately received the 2021 HOBI Award for Best New Old Home Remodel.<\/p>\n

And honestly, the award makes sense the second you see how carefully the house balances preservation with modern living.<\/a><\/p>\n

Nothing feels forced.<\/p>\n

Nothing feels overly trendy.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Kyle Norton<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

And thankfully, nobody tried to turn the property into a cold white-box modern farmhouse.<\/p>\n

Oversized windows flood the interiors with light<\/h2>\n

Inside, oversized windows bring natural light deep into the interiors and help soften the contrast between the original architecture<\/a> and the newer additions.<\/p>\n

The open floor plan keeps the home feeling current and easy to navigate, while fireplaces throughout the residence add warmth and texture back into the larger spaces.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Kyle Norton<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The kitchen feels sleek without losing the home\u2019s warmth<\/h2>\n

The kitchen anchors much of the home\u2019s daily life with a cleaner, more contemporary look that still feels connected to the older architecture surrounding it.<\/p>\n

Instead of leaning heavily industrial or ultra-minimal, the space strikes a quieter balance that fits the rest of the estate surprisingly well.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Multiple family rooms make the house feel genuinely livable<\/h2>\n

One thing the property does especially well is avoid feeling overly formal.<\/p>\n

Yes, the house is large and architecturally significant<\/a>. But it also includes multiple family rooms, media spaces, offices, and flexible gathering areas that make it feel designed for actual everyday life rather than occasional entertaining only.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Kyle Norton<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

That distinction matters more than ever in large luxury homes.<\/p>\n

The primary suite keeps the atmosphere calm and understated<\/h2>\n

The primary suite leans into the quieter side of the home\u2019s design language<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Instead of dramatic excess, the spaces feel calm, restrained, and intentionally composed \u2014 more retreat than showpiece.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Kyle Norton<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"

Then you step outside and the property completely changes personality<\/h2>\n

And then there are the grounds.<\/p>\n

Which honestly feel like their own separate world. The grounds were designed by renowned firm Wagner Hodgson \u2014 and the property unfolds almost like a private park.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Kyle Norton<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u0415\u0441\u0442\u044c tiered gardens<\/a>, a heated pool, fire pits, a sundeck, stream crossings, outdoor gathering spaces, and mature landscaping tucked into nearly every corner of the 2.5-acre site.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Kyle Norton<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The jungle gym may quietly be the coolest feature on the property<\/h2>\n

But the real scene-stealer might be the custom jungle gym.<\/p>\n

Built from telephone poles, the structure reads less like playground equipment and more like large-scale outdoor sculpture.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Kyle Norton<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It\u2019s playful without feeling childish and artistic without trying too hard \u2014 which is a surprisingly difficult balance to pull off.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Kyle Norton<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

With a matching treehouse<\/h2>\n

Nearby, an architectural treehouse adds another layer of personality that most luxury listings at this level simply don\u2019t have.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Kyle Norton<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The property manages to feel both serious and fun at the same time<\/h2>\n

That\u2019s probably what makes the estate stand out most.<\/p>\n

A lot of luxury homes<\/a> are beautiful.<\/p>\n

Far fewer actually feel memorable.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Kyle Norton<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This one somehow manages to combine architectural credibility, historical pedigree, resort-style amenities, and genuinely playful design moments without tipping too far in any one direction.<\/p>\n

And in a market full of interchangeable luxury properties, that combination is surprisingly rare.<\/p>\n
