Enjoy the Compo Beach lifestyle

- By Bernadette Blaze

This extraordin­ary home in Westport's prestigiou­s Compo Beach area offers an ideal lifestyle for beachgoers as well as commuters. Set on 1.04 acres just minutes to the beach and within easy access to the train and I-95, the home enjoys the perfect location whether heading out for work or play.

The four-bedroom home was completely rebuilt in 2004 incorporat­ing the finest materials throughout its 4,694 square feet. From the moment one steps inside, the home’s distinctiv­e atmosphere is characteri­zed by its soaring vaulted ceilings, great use of crossbeams, and custom lighting. “This is a unique home with a lot of character and great outdoor spaces,” says listing agent Maria Tziolis. “It is the kind of home that you can raise a family in, but where you can also remain after the children have grown.”

Bright and open living spaces include a sun-filled living room with vaulted ceilings, fireplace flanked by built-ins, and French doors that open to a lovely seating area out on the deck. The living room is also open to the spacious family room, which provides another great gathering area, also with vaulted ceilings and deck access. The formal dining room boasts a dry bar that includes a wine fridge and refrigerat­or drawers, making entertaini­ng a breeze.

Cross-sectional beams add a striking element to the gourmet kitchen, showcasing the lighting around the center island, as well as the high-end appliances and handsome cabinetry. A beautiful breakfast nook with builtin seating is surrounded by windows, creating the perfect spot to enjoy everyday meals. French doors open to the wraparound mahogany deck featuring a custom banquet

table with built-in bench seating. This delightful space is an enchanting setting to enjoy al fresco dining with cafe lighting providing the perfect ambiance for warm summer evenings under the stars. “The kitchen with access to the deck and the breakfast nook area where everyone gathers are my favorite spaces in the home,” Tziolis added.

Owners will appreciate the convenienc­e of the luxurious first floor primary suite featuring a bay window, custom built-ins, walk-in closet, and private bath. Also on the first floor is an additional bedroom with full bath that can also serve as an office, if desired.

Two additional bedrooms with walk-in closets are located on the second floor along with a library area with built-in desk and bookcases – perfect as a study or remote school/ work area. Enjoy casual entertaini­ng, recreation, or a workout in the lowerlevel rec room with builtin cabinets and shelving, offering a spacious casual area with an abundance of custom storage options as well as an exercise area with mirrors and rubber flooring.
