Historic Tudor Revival Estate in Greenwich Lists for First Time in 60 Years

One of Greenwich’s most storied homes has just hit the market. Located at 78 Khakum Wood Road, this rare Tudor Revival estate, built in 1906, is being offered for sale for the first time in over six decades. The asking price: $6.3 million.

Listed by the Rothe family, who have owned and cherished the property for generations, the residence is part of the prestigious Khakum Wood Association, a private and gated enclave known for its privacy, character, and historic pedigree.

A Piece of Architectural History

The home spans 6,841 square feet and features nine bedrooms, each reflecting the refined craftsmanship and grandeur of early 20th-century design. The property is a pristine example of the Tudor Revival style, complete with stucco and half-timbered exteriors, steep gables, and leaded-glass windows.

Adding to its historic charm is the estate’s original landscaping, designed by the renowned Olmsted Brothers, the same firm behind New York City’s Central Park. Mature trees, lush gardens, and a period cobblestone courtyard create a timeless, estate-like ambiance rarely found in modern properties.

Modern Comforts, Preserved Character

While maintaining its historic character, the home has been thoughtfully updated to meet modern living standards. The kitchen features marble countertops, high-end stainless steel appliances, and classic wood detailing. Generous formal rooms, cozy dens, and sun-filled sitting areas make it both elegant and inviting.

Additional highlights include:

• A grand, paneled living room with a fireplace
• Formal dining room with garden views
• Spacious primary suite with walk-in closet and vintage fixtures
• Separate staff quarters
• Attached two-car garage

Khakum Wood: A Sought-After Address

Set on a peaceful cul-de-sac within the Khakum Wood Association, the property is surrounded by other significant estates, yet offers unmatched privacy and tranquility. The community, master-planned in the early 20th century, remains one of Greenwich’s most exclusive addresses.

Residents enjoy access to private roads, security patrols, and meticulously maintained common areas, all just minutes from downtown Greenwich and about 45 minutes from Manhattan.

Legacy Meets Luxury

“This home is a rare opportunity to own a true piece of Greenwich history,” said the listing agent. “Properties in Khakum Wood, especially one with this architectural pedigree and continuous family ownership, almost never come to market.”

The Rothe family’s decision to sell marks the end of a multi-generational chapter, and the beginning of a new one for a buyer seeking classic elegance, privacy, and timeless design.
