About this home

Timeless elegance meets modern comfort in this stunning 1936 brick Colonial, beautifully updated while preserving the warmth, character, and craftsmanship of its vintage roots. Set in one of Westport's most desirable coastal locations, this 5-bedroom, 4.5-bath antique home is filled with architectural detail and storybook charm at every turn.

Each room has been thoughtfully refreshed with an eye toward comfort, function, and timeless style, while honoring the home's original soul. Outdoor living is equally inviting, with lovely gardens, a spacious patio, a built-in grill, and a firepit perfect for relaxed evenings under the stars.
