Ideally situated in the heart of the Historic Saugatuck district, the property offers more than just a home; Residents of Imperial Avenue enjoy a lifestyle that includes strolls to Saugatuck Sweets for ice cream, riverfront cocktails at The Whelk and afternoons spent meandering through the Westport Farmer's Market - all in close walking distance. The house itself is defined by a welcoming wraparound, front porch that offers the perfect perch for summer evenings, as you watch the world go by. Upon entering, you are greeted by a gracious open layout that seamlessly combines the living and dining spaces, leading to a gracious open kitchen and recently-added family room with fireplace. The kitchen/family room overlooks a lushly landscaped, flat, back yard with breezeway access to a two car garage. The home feels open and airy with 9 foot ceilings and rooms that are flooded with light from oversized windows throughout. Upstairs are 3 bedrooms. The primary bedroom is en-suite. The additional two beds share a spacious, updated hall bath. The attic is finished, and offers the opportunity for a sunny 4th bedroom and/or office. Cozy rec room, laundry and exceptional storage complete the finished lower level. A commuter's dream, around the corner from the Westport Train Station and in close proximity to Compo Beach, Main Street, the Library and Levitt Pavilion.
