55 Kings Highway North Westport, CT 06880

This HIDDEN GEM is a recent Historic Preservation Award makeover of an early 1900's barn in-the-heart of Westport's sought-after Kings Highway Historic District. Nestled in one of the most picturesque in-town settings, the home's privacy will surprise you. In this quiet residence, wake up to a view of the red barn next door that was a speakeasy during Prohibition. The interior and exterior are accented with its authentic original barn beams; salvaged artifacts have been reused such as the barn door rails and horseshoes that re-attached the original rustic door to the front facade; and the fireplace from the early 1900s has its restored black wrought iron screens and andirons. Backyard privacy provides a tranquil view of an old-style fieldstone drywall. Here you will enjoy the best of the old, merged with the amenities of today.On the back porch, you can drop automated Phantom Screens at the press of a button on buggy evenings, and Sonos-connected speakers pipe your favorite music indoors and out wherever you entertain.
