About this home

Nestled within a picturesque enclave of distinguished luxury homes in Westport's coveted Greens Farms neighborhood, you'll know you've arrived as mature, stately hedges guide you down a flowering, tree-lined driveway. This Hampton-style home has been masterfully reimagined and updated by its current owners. It sings with natural light, refined millwork, custom moldings, and offers an elegant blend of classic craftsmanship with today's modern comforts. Every room invites a sense of grace and tranquility, while still offering impressive scale and presence. The generously proportioned public rooms showcase walls of windows. The Study is cozy and richly appointed. The white Eat-in Kitchen is just wonderful and opens to the Family Room and has French doors to the patio. Thoughtful details abound: 4 fireplaces, rich paneling, and finely crafted built-ins offer warmth and character throughout. All ensuite, this 5/6 bedroom home offers a charmed lifestyle that exudes versatility and privacy. The walkout lower level includes an oversized recreation room, pool changing room (or bdrm 6), and generous storage. Step outside and enjoy resort-like living with an oversized pool and spa, a ground level and elevated patio, and the most magnificent 1 acre backdrop of matures trees, bushes, and flowers. Ideally located just minutes from Westport's beaches, boutiques, and restaurants, and only a short sidewalk stroll to GFS, "The Hedges on Morningside" - I can't wait to show you this beauty.
