Resort living on Hunt Club cul-de-sac
By Bernadette Blaze
Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Westport’s Hunt Club area, this fivebedroom colonial offers entertainment and resort-style amenities that have garnered it the nickname of “Club 24” by neighbors. Complete with a Pebble Tec pool and spa and a spectacular lower level bar, media room and wine cellar, the home was designed to be the place where everyone wants to gather.
“Kids love the huge playroom upstairs and adults love the beautiful bar, wine cellar, pool table and surround sound stereo system in the lower level,” said the owners. “Outside, the pool and backyard are so quiet and private,” they added. “We love sitting on the patio and listening to the waterfall from the hot tub. Between the beach entry, tanning shelf, dive rock and hot tub, there is something for everyone to enjoy.”
The home’s floorplan creates a relaxed backdrop for everyday living. The luminous twostory entry hall with herringbone and inlaid hardwood floor welcomes guests into open living spaces filled with light. In the family room, a stone fireplace sets the scene for beautiful holiday celebrations and peaceful evenings at home. A sleek wet bar is poised between the family room and sunroom, a perfect staging area for pouring wine and mixing drinks when entertaining.
“Our favorite room in the house is the sunroom with its large arched window that always fills the room with sunshine,” said the owner. “It is a great place to enjoy a cold day in front of the fireplace during the winter, the blossoming cherry tree in the spring and the sun shining through the greenery during the summer.”
The freshly renovated chef’s kitchen dazzles with a sundrenched breakfast area an oversized island perfect for guests to gather while dinner is being prepared. The kitchen opens to stone terraces for exceptional indoor/ outdoor entertaining and dinner parties under the stars. Formal entertaining spaces include a tranquil living room with floor to ceiling stone fireplace and dining room with coffered ceiling.
A main level bedroom with an en-suite bathroom offers an ideal in-law suite or guest accommodations. Across the hall, a study makes an ideal home office.
A back staircase connects to the mudroom where crisp built-in cubbies and handsome beadboard offer stylish storage.
On the upper level, the serene and intimate master suite boasts a fireplace and spa-like master bath. There are three family bedrooms, one is en-suite bathroom while the other two share a hall bathroom. A large bonus room forms a fantastic playroom or game room.
The finished lower level is perfect for Superbowl parties, Oscar nights or gatherings for any occasion, highlighted by a large wood-paneled bar for entertaining in style.
The house is located at the end of a quiet cul de sac and offers nearly two lush, landscaped acres just minutes from town and the train station.
