This waterfront custom home in Belle Haven, Greenwich, Connecticut was designed by Tanner White Architects as a timeless interpretation of the classic New England shingle style estate. Located in one of Greenwich’s most prestigious coastal neighborhoods, the residence was carefully designed to maximize water views while maintaining the scale and character of traditional Belle Haven architecture.
The exterior features cedar shingle siding, detailed trim work, and a complex roofline with dormers, chimneys, and gables that create a rich, layered composition. Large windows and glass doors line the waterfront façade, allowing uninterrupted views of Long Island Sound while filling the interior with natural light.
Multiple terraces, covered porches, and rooftop decks provide outdoor living spaces at every level, designed to take full advantage of the coastal setting. A columned porch and outdoor dining area extend the living space toward the water, creating a seamless connection between the house, landscape, and shoreline.
The interior layout was organized to capture views from all primary rooms, with expansive living spaces opening directly to the lawn and waterfront terrace. Traditional architectural proportions are combined with modern detailing to create a home that feels both classic and contemporary.
Designed as a luxury custom residence in Belle Haven, the home reflects the historic character of Greenwich while incorporating modern comfort, energy efficiency, and coastal durability.
