Inside A Greenwich, Connecticut, Estate That's a Replica of Versailles' Petit Trianon

Whether you're a Francophile, history buff, budding horticulturalist, or a classical design enthusiast, you'll fall for this incredible new listing that just popped up in the ever-sought-after Greenwich, Connecticut. This 18-acre property was built between 1910-1913 to be a replica of Marie Antoinette’s Petit Trianon, from the gardens of Versailles, to every detail and is aptly known as Petit Trianon Deux. And it's absolutely fit for endless nights (and days) of fabulous entertaining à la the infamous French queen.

This century-old property inspired by the architecture and grandeur of centuries before, offers the charm and glamour of yesteryear with all the modern amenities that suit the way we live and play today. Anyone will make a grand entrance to this home, as the driveway is lined with towering sculptured American Sweetgum trees. There's also a reflecting pool with a fountain and a divided staircase to the entrance.

Inside the nearly 11,000 square foot home, architectural details abound, and each room pays homage to the feminine elegance of Marie Antoinette. The rooms are drenched with natural light, feature soaring ceilings, and are painted in historic colors. The former owner and his family lived here for nearly 50 years and was dedicated to ensuring its timelessness and relevance.

Amenities at this Greenwich estate include a pool fit for a royal family, clay tennis court, well-appointed guest house, charming 1913 stables with groomsmen quarters, and a stunning greenhouse with a potting shed. There's truly something for all types of enthusiasts at Petit Trianon Deux! But if there aren't enough activities to strike your fancy, the house is seated near Greenwich Country Club.
