About This Home
As of December 2020Discover Couch House. The William Couch 1782 farmhouse has been both protected and preserved to perfection. A meticulously loved and adored home with modern upgrades thoughtfully integrated into classic design.
Perfectly situated on 3.28 acres on one of the most notable streets in Westport and Fairfield County. Beachside Avenue is lined with many majestic estate homes, all mere yards from Long Island Sound and on-the-beach living.
You will love the character of this home. Wide floor boards, crown molding, sunroom, porches, terraces and fireplaces all make this a home filled with charm and a privilege to call yours. Refinement and sophistication vibrate throughout the home as one can channel the essence of yesterday while embracing today’s modern lifestyle living.
Renovated and updated open concept kitchen and breakfast area is the heart of the home. State of the art utilities, a complete house generator and solar panels offer financial benefits and efficiency.
The water views are enhanced by the open acreage, which gives an added element of breathing space. The Beachside Farmhouse offers both relevant and classic spaces that perfectly merge into a gracious and timelessness home to own.
Water views, lifestyle living and a dynamic community await you.
