Our Take

96 County Street is an 1880 antique cottage with two bedrooms, two full baths, and a 0.44-acre lot. Its original charm remains intact, with a flexible floor plan that allows the living and dining rooms to be switched. The family room/office can serve as a main-floor primary suite, while a walk-out finished lower level adds exercise, family, guest, or hobby space. The property also offers access to downtown Westport, the Westport Metro-North station, Westport Avenue amenities, Calf Pasture Beach, and SoNo restaurants.

Read the full listing description

This romantic antique cottage is right out of a storybook! Set on a surprisingly large lot with numerous magical private hide-aways to help you find your Zen after a long day. It has been lovingly restored and impeccably maintained with all of its original charm still intact. Offers a flexible floor plan, use your imagination to lay it out to enhance your lifestyle. The current and previous owners routinely swapped the living room and dining room areas when the mood for a change struck. The cozy family room/office space can be used as a main floor primary suite. Another unexpected bonus is the walk-out finished lower level which provides a pleasant exercise space plus another family room or guest area or hobby space. Located on the Westport border with easy access to downtown Westport and the Westport Metro North station for a one-hour commute to Grand Central Terminal. Convenient to Westport Avenue amenities, Calf Pasture Beach, the many great restaurants in South Norwalk/SoNo and the SoNo Collection Mall. Don't miss this very special offering!

How we compile this. The source is Norwalk municipal permit records. These records are imported periodically and are not a live feed from the town. A permit’s presence does not, by itself, confirm that work was completed or passed final inspection. Dates shown are issue dates unless identified otherwise. Descriptions may be lightly edited for readability without changing material details. Dollar amounts are town-reported project costs or permit valuations, not estimates of the property’s market value.
