About This Home
As of December 2020Stone Heart of Westport. In a town with many significant residences, this renowned English villa manor stands apart. Built in 1929, this architecturally important home was commissioned for the Lowe’s family (theatres and MGM Studios), and was a guest destination for a considerable number of Hollywood and theatrical royalty. Nobly sited atop a knoll, a first impression is a lasting one. Steps inside the inspired entrance foyer reveals the English, Tudor style linen fold wood panels. As you wander deeper, the invention and intention are revealed. Hand-forged iron work, leaded glass windows, exquisite Italianate details throughout. Roman arches in the loggia, Gothic arches by the pool. Stucco and plaster as artistry rather than mere texture. It’s an estate with a storied past and a new chapter ready and waiting to be written.
