Compass Real Estate

The tale of Tommy Mottola’s Greenwich house sale began two years ago when he and his wife Thalia listed it for $19.95 million.&nbsp;They purchased the home in 2010 for&nbsp;$2.85 million and proceeded to&nbsp;turn the 5.7 acre overgrown vacant lot to an estate&nbsp;with&nbsp;a 12,000 square foot, nine-bedroom main house. The property sold last week for&nbsp;$14.9 million. The sale might be yet another harbinger of how Greenwich is returning to solid ground in the real estate after a few years of lackluster performance, as the long-awaited recent sale of rapper 50 Cent’s home also suggests.&nbsp;It took several years to design and build the&nbsp;Georgian&nbsp;Colonial which includes two separate two-story dressing rooms, beauty salon, gym, play room and entertaining space designed to look like a vintage hunting lodge with beamed, vaulted ceilings and a&nbsp;fireplace surround&nbsp;made of ashlar fieldstone.&nbsp;Fitting with Mottola’s prior gig as&nbsp;chairman/CEO of Sony Music Entertainment, where he was known for building the careers of stars such as Gloria Estefan and C&eacute;line Dion,&nbsp;there is also a recording studio&nbsp;decorated with Thalia’s awards for her career as a pop singer. An in-house elevator can access all four floors.&nbsp;

Kitchen

The farmhouse style kitchen with three ovens, floating shelves and a butcher block island also has three 1930s Czech lights from Ann-Morris, according to Architectural&nbsp;Digest.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Plenty of space for art display

The couple wanted to display their extensive art collection, which includes works by Keith Haring, Andy Warhol, Richmond Burton,&nbsp;Robert Indiana and Marc Quinn. Above is one of the living rooms where they can display art without it being exposed to direct sunlight.

Media Room

The media room has a contemporary feel in the main part with a slightly more rustic, fireplace-enhanced nook at the far end of the room.

Breakfast room

The bedroom, with a Richmond Burton painting, looks out onto the over five acres of land with lake and pool.

Bedroom

Here is one of two dressing room/bathrooms, each with two levels. You can see a quick glimpse of the upper level closet if you peek through the top of the staircase.
