Read the full listing description
Individuality meets tradition in this 1840 hand-built antique with interior modern aesthetics. Surrounded by native plants, 100 year old hickory trees, magnificent Japanese maple trees, flowering pollinators, and hummingbirds at your windows, this private, lower Weston retreat is only 15 minutes to the Westport train station, 12 minutes to the beach, and 7 minutes to Weston schools. With an abiding appreciation for an authentic natural environment, no pesticides or chemicals have been used on this property in over 20 years. Complete with a modern outbuilding that has been a guest house, yoga studio, gaming room, and secondary dining room, with a terrace overlooking a vernal pond inhabited by mallard ducks annually. The iron archway at the entrance was hand-forged by the original owner in 1840 in this enchanting made-for-holidays storybook home. A truly unique oasis updated by local artisan woodworkers and architects.
