Homes on cul-de-sacs are highly desirable because they’re great places to raise kids. The trouble is, there just aren’t many cul-de-sacs in our busy towns. And when family homes come up for sale in these neighborhoods, they see a lot of buyer activity.

So if you’re looking for a quiet street, take a look at this home in the Cos Cob area of Greenwich. It’s described as a Colonial but it has a decidedly modern twist. I particularly like the large windows, which bring tons of light into the home. The floors are a mix of hardwood and tile, and the kitchen has white cabinets

Anyone looking for a brand new waterfront home? This colonial might be just the ticket for your family. Built in 2010, the big selling point for this home is its setting. There are views of the Mianus pond from almost every room and even in the snow the views are breath-taking.

Another big plus is the fact that the home is on a cul-de-sac in Riverside, close to the train, the shops and the schools. You’ll have plenty of privacy because this house sits right next to an acre of town-owned property.

The house itself has all the detailing you’d expect from a new Greenwich

If there’s one thing Julianne Ward likes, it’s a good list. “I am extremely detail oriented,” she says, “and I keep track of everything.” At the end of every day she takes her different lists and condenses them into one, and her new list gets the next business day going.

Julianne is an agent with Prudential in Greenwich and a member of the Chairman’s Circle. “I often have up to 50 clients at one time and I like to know where everything is with each client,” she says. She’s also involved with Greenwich’s Neighbor to Neighbor and the Transportation Association

I like a house with nooks and crannies. They’re the details that make a house interesting, the little surprises carved into a basic box. Sadly, builders of the big mansion-style homes often forget to add such interesting touches, so it’s nice to come across a big new house that is different.

Take a look at the front of 25 Beechcroft Road in Greenwich. There are many different rooflines, and the covered porch off to the side looks like a wonderful spot for morning coffee or evening cocktails. There are several entertaining rooms, including a music room large enough for a
