Greenwich, Conn. $3.988 million In an age of McMansions on postage-stamp lots, it’s always nice to see another opportunity for Greenwich living a little more in line with its Gilded Age glory. And though this Colonial on Hope Farm Road was built in 1977 (and expanded in 1998 and renovated in 2009), the 7,919-square-foot, stone-pillared residence is “a sophisticated expression of traditional New England.” Plus, the 2.7-acre property is bordered by a 77-acre conservation. Inside the four-bedroom, six-bathroom home are “graceful” archways, “rich” hardwoods and rooms “bathed in natural light.” The guest house/pool house — of course, there’s a pool, too — has a kitchenette and additional sleeping quarters. Agent: Bonnie Novek, Round Hill Partners, 203-861-0050

Bronxville, NY $9 million With the extensive amenities of a country spread (swimming pool, “expansive” terrace, formal gardens, gazebo, four-car garage), it’s surprising to learn that this 1927 Lewis Bowman-designed estate is actually in a “village” setting near town, transportation and schools. Inside the 6,200-square-foot English-style home, a “broad” reception hall leads to a step-down living room (with a beamed ceiling and oak-paneled walls) and beyond to the solarium overlooking the terrace. The main level also includes a “magnificent” walnut-paneled library with a “period” fireplace. Upstairs are four en-suite bedrooms, including a “lavish” master suite, while the lower level features a playroom with a fireplace and a half-bathroom. Agent: Rita Steinkamp, Houlihan Lawrence, 914-337-0400, ext. 225
