Description

On two sweeping acres in the heart of Greens Farms sits a quintessential antique home that has been there since 1920. Throughout their 28 years in residence, the current owners have refined and expanded impeccably, enlisting a local architectural team whose forte is historical accuracy, hidden function, and understated luxury. The oversized front door opens to a stunning foyer that provides a view of the property, bringing the outdoors in. With character and warmth, and an abundance of natural light, this is a rare gem w/views of the landscape from virtually every room. The library has the original Delft tile bordered fireplace, window-seats and walls lined with bookcases. The gracious living room welcomes you w/a fireplace, French doors to verdant gardens, and connects to a spacious dining room - also w/a wide fireplace and French doors to the terrace. Beautiful chef's kitchen with plentiful wooden and glass-paned cabinetry, butcher-block center island, and a top of the line suite of appliances. A sun-drenched dining area leads to an incredible family room w/a wooden cathedral ceiling, oversized fireplace and office. The exquisite central staircase leads to a second floor w/vaulted primary suite, one ensuite bedroom and two additional bedrooms that share a hall bathroom. There is also a guest room on the main floor, full bath and easy access to the pool and bluestone patio. The gunite pool is bordered by lilac hedges and a wisteria covered pergola - weathered to perfection. This is the best of coastal Connecticut. With perfect scale and proportion, a new cedar roof, wideboard oak flooring, custom millwork throughout, this home's highlights are its time-honored finishes and patina that feed its warmth. Near Westport's amenities and schools, this idyllic, one of a kind retreat has it all - ultimate privacy and convenience, w/in walking distance to LI Sound, Greens Farms train station and Southport Village.
