In the middle of the coveted Saugatuck neighborhood and among the notable homes in Westport sits the Charles L Wilson home circa 1854 - a classic residence with spectacular presence and ensconced in a well- manicured 0.56 acres. From the moment you enter the long gravel driveway, past expansive lawns, ancient stone walls & specimen trees, you will be captivated by how peaceful & magical this property is. Preserving the character and charm of yesteryear - this chic residence offers modern amenities for the contemporary lifestyle yet exemplifies timeless European style. Architectural details abound, the interior features a stunning double family room with fireplace, living/keeping room, gourmet kitchen, formal dining room, Office/Den, four bedrooms and a finished third floor playroom. The perfect setting for an outdoor party or as a private sanctuary, the magnificent grounds, carefully stewarded by the current owners, have yielded glorious results such as incredible lawns, extensive stonework and landscaping with multiple areas for gathering. A detached garage accompanies the residence and elegantly nods to the property's storied past. The inspired transformation of this 3,400+ Square Foot home is testimony to the owner's love of home and garden. The exquisite attention to detail, sought after location, and magical setting make this home a treasure - just minutes away from restaurants, shopping, the Train and the Beach.
