This remarkable stone mansion, built in 1929, stands as one of the most historically and culturally significant residences in Westport and Fairfield County, celebrated as an exceptional trophy property. Meticulously restored and in impeccable, move-in ready condition, this home is poised for immediate enjoyment. Crafted in the esteemed tradition of Europe's grand Manor Houses, it boasts unparalleled artistry and a wealth of period details. A tour of this magnificent estate unveils a multitude of exceptional features. The home and its expansive grounds were thoughtfully designed to offer an ideal setting for elegant entertaining. Approaching the property, visitors pass through a stone gate tower, arriving at a motor court, where the residence, atop a knoll, commands attention. With hand-forged ironwork, leaded glass windows, copper gutters, & a slate roof, this architectural masterpiece is unrivaled in the area. Entering through gothic-style arches, one is welcomed into a grand foyer, where original hand-hewn linen-fold wood paneling & an intricate plaster ceiling set the tone. From this central space, the expansive LR & DR, as well as the more intimate library, are revealed-each room unfolding the story of this majestic residence. The new gourmet, eat-in kitchen showcases modern quality. Two enclosed porches provide serene views of the stunning 2.21+/- acre estate, featuring a breathtaking gunite pool with a cascading waterfall and elegant garden courtyard. The flexible layout accommodates multiple home offices, an in-law/guest wing, or other special needs. Three car garage, updated systems, remodeled bathrooms, and all amenities for comfort are present in this exquisite home. The convenient location is moments from Downtown Westport's vibrant shopping, dining, library, Levitt Pavilion with outdoor concerts and more. Enjoy convenient access to both the Merritt Parkway & I-95, as well as the Metro North Railroad to Grand Central Terminal in NYC.
