Overview

Tucked at the end of one of Westport's most coveted cul-de-sacs, this 5-bedroom contemporary offers 6,310 sq ft of finished living space on just over a private acre, with a backyard path leading directly to Bedford Middle and Staples High School. From the foyer, a dramatic vaulted living room with skylights, built-ins and a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace sets the tone. The glass-wrapped sunroom windows (newly replaced) frames stunning views of the lush grounds and heated gunite pool, while the updated eat-in kitchen with granite counters, center island, breakfast bar and pantry flows into a generous family room anchored by a second fireplace. A formal dining room and four main-level bedrooms offer flexibility, including possible first-floor in-law. Upstairs, the primary suite is a true retreat: vaulted ceilings, dressing room, walk-in closet and a private treehouse-like balcony overlooking the backyard. The expansive finished lower level delivers a playroom, game area and built-in wet bar, plus a large laundry room, mudroom and abundant storage. Recent updates include new natural gas heating and tankless hot water systems and new pool filtration. With a 2-car attached garage, walk-up floored attic and Westport beach rights, this is the rare home combining resort-style privacy with a walk-to-schools location - minutes to downtown, the train and Compo Beach.
