This extraordinary estate in the Lichfield Hills of Connecticut is an actual work of art designed by renowned architect Allan Greenberg for world-renowned tennis legend Ivan Lendl. As you enter the property through the grand gates, you will be welcomed by horse paddocks, a barn, and a long, winding driveway leading to the impeccable stone house.

The home’s main floor features a grand staircase, a light-bathed main floor with virtually every room boasting French doors leading out to beautiful gardens and patios. The wood-paneled library, spacious living room, formal dining room, and family room, all with fireplaces and wide plank oak floors, as well as a trophy room/office and an eat-in chef’s kitchen with state-of-the-art appliances and a butler’s pantry, complete the first level.
