Obsessively maintained and reimagined by the current owners, the home was designed with Peters' signature use of native stone, rich wood, and artisan detail, making the residence feel both enduring and warmly livable. Inside, soaring vaulted ceilings, hand-hewn finishes, and sunlit rooms create spaces that invite both grand entertaining and intimate moments. Multiple living areas flow effortlessly to the outdoors, where endless gardens unfold into meandering pathways, quiet terraces, and vibrant seasonal color. At the heart of the grounds is a sparkling pool and fully-outfitted stone pool house, a perfect retreat for summer days. A 4-car heated stone garage off the elegant belgian block driveway also offers a finished upper level, allowing flexibility for a future studio, office, or guest space. Every corner of the property reveals another place to gather, from sunny stone patios to Japanese gardens under shady awnings, all surrounded by lush plantings, offering a sense of escape yet is so close to all that the vibrant town of Westport has to offer. This home is more than a residence-it is a sanctuary of history, beauty, and possibility, where the craftsmanship of a bygone era meets the comforts of today.
