Classic architectural detail
Pristine colonial on 1.2 acres in the heart of Westport
Unparalleled craftsmanship, classic architectural detail and elegant millwork are hallmarks of this stately colonial. Beautifully sited on 1.2 acres, the home is uniquely private yet has all the convenience of a terrific in- town location.
“The location can’t be beat,” says listing agent Jonathan Deak. “It is just around the corner from Mitchell’s clothing store and Fresh Market and walking distance to Compo Shopping Center and all the great shopping in downtown Westport. Plus, schools and the train station are easily accessible as well.”
Awelcoming front porch accents this custom designed and thoughtfully constructed residence. Inside, rooms are nicely proportioned throughout with elegant, yet functional spaces that are perfect for large scale entertaining or comfortable, everyday living.
“No room is too big or too small, and with 6,700 square feet on three levels, there’s more than enough room for all your tchotchkes,” Deak says lightheartedly.
Deak notes that what truly sets this home apart is the elegance of the trim and finish work, beginning with the gracious turned staircase, wainscoting and herringbone floor that grace the twostory foyer. The formal living room with fireplace and dining room with butler’s pantry are equally as appealing and boast inlaid hardwood floors. Off the living room, the private library is richly adorned with cherry wood builtins, wainscoting and crown moldings.
The kitchen was built with a cook’s perspective in mind and leaves nothing to be desired among an oversized island, beverage cooler, refrigerator draws, two dishwashers and two sinks. A beautiful bayed breakfast nook with tray ceiling and walls of windows overlooks the natural surroundings. Next to the kitchen, an inviting family room features a striking floor to ceiling stone fireplace flanked by French doors that open to an expansive patio. Here, enjoy wonderful outdoor entertaining with a built- in barbecue and outdoor refrigerator providing every convenience and a magnificent stone chimney further enhancing the enchanting atmosphere.
On the upper level, the luxurious master bedroom suite affords a tranquil escape among a tray ceiling, two large walk — in closets, a sitting room and an indulgent marble master bath with whirlpool tub, large shower and double vanity with makeup area. Two additional bedrooms each feature en- suite baths. A fourth bedroom is on this level as well as a fifth bedroom that is located over the garage, along with a playroom.
The finished third level features bedroom with full bath and a bonus room that could also function as a playroom or media room with a large walk- in closet and storage
attic.
“The design is very versatile so the space could easily accommodate au pair or guest quarters, or it could also be used as a tremendous recreation room, home theater or even an exercise room,” Deak explains.
Additional amenities include a full house generator, 7- zone heating, second floor laundry room, underground sprinkler and threecar attached garage.
