There are homes that simply offer a place to live, and there are homes that tell a story. Dating back to 1750, this distinguished Colonial is a rare offering where centuries of New England character have been thoughtfully preserved while every modern luxury has been seamlessly introduced. Tucked behind mature trees and historic stone walls, the property commands sweeping views across Shorehaven Golf Course with seasonal glimpses of Long Island Sound, creating an extraordinary sense of privacy just moments from the Westport border. Despite its tranquil setting, the train, beaches, boutique shopping, acclaimed restaurants, and an easy commute to Manhattan are all within easy reach, offering the best of coastal Connecticut living. Beyond the stately pillared entrance, an extensive renovation completed since 2018 has carefully reimagined the home without compromising its architectural integrity. Rich period details, generous proportions, and timeless craftsmanship are complemented by sophisticated finishes and thoughtfully upgraded systems, creating a residence that feels equally suited for everyday living and elegant entertaining. The kitchen was completely rebuilt from the studs into a stunning gathering space. French doors and an impressive picture window flood the room with natural light, floating shelves , an oversized island topped with mahogany, marble countertops, and designer hardware complete this exceptional space.
