57 Interior Design Photos vs. 30 John St, Greenwich, CT Luxury Mansion Tour

A storied landmark renewed as the home of Tommy and Dee Hilfiger, hallmarked by singular beauty and uncompromising standards, this European-inspired country estate graces 22± private, park-like acres at the summit of Round Hill, the highest point in Greenwich, a 570±-foot elevation, commanding panoramic vistas all the way to Long Island Sound and the Manhattan skyline. No expense was spared in the nearly six-year restoration and renovation – featured in Architectural Digest (February, 2017) and honored with a 2015 Stanford White Award – in which the globally renowned fashion designer and his wife collaborated with the acclaimed talents of Andre Tchelistcheff Architects, Xhema Industries, interior designers Martyn Lawrence Bullard and Cindy Rinfret of Rinfret, Ltd., and landscape designer Miranda Brooks.

Designed by noted architect Greville Rickard and built in 1939 for real estate magnate Charles V. Paterno, this Great Estate later became the home of famed financier and art patron Joseph H. Hirshhorn, who displayed his eminent art collection and sculpture garden here before gifting it to the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington. Under the Hilfigers’ ownership, the painstaking reinvention of this historic property brings the elegant charm of its rich heritage to the highest caliber of modern standards, adding cohesive enhancements to the original design.

Conducive to entertaining, most first-floor rooms open to engaging outdoor living spaces in the idyllic landscape, inviting a stroll through the fountained rose garden, boxwood knot garden, water garden with fountained koi pond, and topiary garden. The sparkling pool, tennis court, and great lawn facing Long Island Sound also serve as focal points for enjoying the outdoors. A guest cottage, greenhouse, and detached four-bay garage complete this rare jewel, artfully remastered as a timeless home for the ages.
