A newly constructed home at 36 Maple Avenue South in Westport’s Greens Farms neighborhood shows how traditional architectural language can be paired with a highly functional modern layout. Inspired by the proportions of classic Georgian Colonial homes found throughout the area, the residence spans more than 7,000 square feet and includes six bedrooms along with multiple flexible living areas designed for everyday use.
Main Living Level
The main floor features wide hallways and ten-foot ceilings that immediately give the home a sense of scale. At the center of the level is a designer kitchen with leathered quartzite countertops, concealed appliances, bar seating, and contrasting finishes.
The kitchen opens to a breakfast area and a family room lined with oversized windows overlooking the grounds. The arrangement keeps the home’s primary gathering spaces connected while still allowing each area to function comfortably on its own.
Nearby, a home office sits just off the main living spaces and shares a double-sided linear gas fireplace, creating a workspace that remains connected to the heart of the home.
A separate dining room provides a more formal setting for entertaining. Paneled walls, corner lighting, and careful detailing create a space designed for larger gatherings.
The room is supported by a fully outfitted pantry, allowing food preparation and service to happen discreetly while keeping the dining area uncluttered.
Even the powder room receives thoughtful attention, with an inset marble sink serving as a focal design element.
Mudroom and Service Area
Toward the rear of the home, a dramatic double-height mudroom finished with checkered tile flooring functions as the primary everyday entry. The space is designed to handle the practical realities of daily life, offering generous room for storage and organization.
Just off the mudroom is a washer and dryer along with a full bath, a practical feature that could easily support a future pool or serve as a convenient wash-up space after time outdoors.
Bonus Suite
A separate staircase from the mudroom leads to a private bonus suite positioned above. The space includes its own bedroom and bath, creating a self-contained living area that works well for long-term guests, extended family, or an au pair while remaining comfortably separated from the main household.
Second Floor
The second floor contains four bedrooms, including the primary suite.
The primary bedroom includes dual walk-in closets and a five-fixture bath with a large shower designed for two. The layout balances scale with practicality, creating a private retreat within the home.
Additional bedrooms on this level offer flexible space for family members or guests.
Third Floor
The third floor is configured as a large playroom or additional family space. This level also conceals generous storage areas tucked within the roofline, an often overlooked but highly practical feature for long-term household organization.
Lower Level
The finished lower level is designed to feel bright rather than subterranean. Ten-foot ceilings and deep window wells allow natural light to reach the space.
The level includes a recreation room along with areas that can accommodate a gym, golf simulator, or additional play space. An additional bedroom and full bath on this level provide comfortable accommodations for guests or extended stays.
Property and Setting
The home sits on a flat, level 0.7-acre property in Greens Farms, one of Westport’s most established residential neighborhoods.
The location offers convenient access to local beaches, the Greens Farms train station, and downtown Westport while maintaining the quieter character that has long defined the area.
Architecture and Construction
The residence was designed by architect Judith Larson and built by Chris Montanaro of Redcoat Homes, a builder known locally for producing traditional homes with carefully detailed interiors and modern systems.
The result is a newly constructed house that draws on Westport’s architectural heritage while providing the scale, flexibility, and functionality expected in a contemporary home.
