Historic Gershom Lockwood III House Up For Sale In Greenwich

GREENWICH, CT — The historic Gershom Lockwood III House, named after the home's original owner and builder circa 1750, is up for sale in Greenwich, according to Sotheby's.

"It is an excellent example of colonial architecture and is one of the very few mid-18th century structures remaining in Greenwich," the listing says. The home, which is going for $1.15 million, is being listed by Leslie McElwreath of Sotheby's International Realty.

The property at 117 Dingletown Road is set on 1.2 acres of lush lawn, and was designated as being "historic", meaning that future owners cannot demolish it and need permission to perform exterior renovations.

The listing says the original structure includes "a graciously scaled living room, library and dining room all with original stone fireplaces, intricate details and historic woodwork."

Up the main stairway are four bedrooms and a bathroom. The present owners added a dining room, kitchen, family room, sitting room and bathroom with a spacious primary suite above.

Overall, there are five bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms. The home is 3,468 square feet. There is also a detached two-car garage.
