antique single family home sold

About the Home

Set on a glorious acre in Westport’s prestigious Old Hill neighborhood, this property offers the perfect blend of antique charm + modern pizzazz, w/surprising details! Preserving the characteristic Italianate architecture of the 1840s, this estate was reimagined + enlarged in 2019 w/considerable effort to meet the stringent guidelines of the Kings Highway North Historic District. Restoring the long-lost front porch, w/a herringbone ceiling, recessed lighting, white-washed decking + gas lanterns, was a most impactful enhancement! Pathway + steps are traditional New England Granite. The addition included a three-car garage w/bonus room on the 2nd level. A gorgeous breezeway w/steel-framed windows + opposing french doors, + stair tower connect the garage to the historic main home. Lightening + brightening everything created a wonderful open flow for the entire home. On the 1st floor, the stunning kitchen w/large center island/breakfast bar is kept cozy w/a fireplace. The well-appointed kitchen flows seamlessly into the spacious dining + family rooms. A sunny playroom w/bay window, a reading nook + a flower cutting/craft area complete the main floor. Upstairs, an opulent primary suite w/TWO bathrooms sets the tone. The walk-in closet is a dream! A stylish, effective study nook was created in the alcove. The 3rd floor was transformed to a sumptuous guest suite, w/new full bath. A separate room functions as an office/small bedroom. See addendum for Accessory Dwelling Unit info.
