In 1929, Briggs Cunningham and his wife, Lucie Bedford, began their life together in a grand Tudor mansion on Westport’s Beachside Avenue. Featuring a great room with leaded-glass windows, a sunroom glowing with coastal light, and a sweeping terrace beside a grand pool and cabana, the estate reflects the grace and exuberance of its era. Now listed for $19.8 million, it stands as a tribute to a couple who lived boldly and beautifully by the Sound.
