There are homes that make an impression, and then there are homes that tell a story. Tucked away on nearly three private acres in Westport, Connecticut, this distinctive estate is the latter, representing a rare fusion of architectural heritage and contemporary comfort.
Originally built in 1930 by acclaimed stone artisan Frazier Peters, the historic stone cottage that anchors the property remains lovingly preserved. Today, it serves as a two-bedroom guest house. But the heart of the estate lies just beyond: a masterfully crafted main residence designed in 2007 by Coastal Construction, whose vision paid homage to Peters’ storied craftsmanship while elevating it to modern luxury.
The result is an extraordinary composition of old and new, bringing together over 13,615 square feet with seven bedrooms, seven full baths, and two half baths.
A two-story fieldstone porch introduces the home with a sense of quiet grandeur. The home’s signature stonework, drawn directly from the property’s DNA, wraps the exterior in gravitas. A newly completed interior redesign elevates every inch of the space with curated finishes, bespoke lighting, and richly layered textures. Warmth radiates from custom millwork and softly arched ceilings, while natural light pours through thoughtfully placed windows and French doors opening to the outdoors.
A dramatic main staircase defines the foyer, where elegant columns frame the formal sitting room with a fireplace and a row of oversized arched windows. Multiple living spaces flex from formal to informal, depending on the occasion, including a grand sun-lit family room centered around a sweeping stone fireplace.
The rest of the layout itself unfolds room by room with quiet revelations—a barrel-ceilinged primary suite that feels like a tucked-away escape rivaling your favorite hotel, a sun-drenched kitchen with double islands, a wood-paneled office, and hidden reading nooks. A versatile third-floor retreat could function as a home office or meditation space, while a gym, media room, and music studio speak to a lifestyle rich in creativity and calm.
Step outside and the story continues amid the park-like grounds. A swimming pool and spa are flanked by a charming pool house, while a terrace with fireplace and full outdoor kitchen makes entertaining feel effortless. Whether you’re gathered fireside on a crisp autumn evening or enjoying a summer swim under the stars, this is a home that invites you to linger. Beyond, there's The Patterson Club just a few minutes away, where the whole family can enjoy sports, social and dining activities at the private year-round club.
For those drawn to its distinct spirit, the estate is offered fully furnished—every detail, down to the last finish, curated to reflect a life lived with intention and ease. As listing agent Cindy Raney so aptly describes it: “Charming. Unique. Soulful.”
Once you arrive, you’ll understand why.
