About This Home
As of November 2020This antique colonial home “The John Platt House” is one of the oldest in Westport. Built around 1700 & subsequent renovations not only updated the house with 21st century amenities it also expanded the footprint to 4004 sq. ft. Upon entering this sophisticated timeless home, one is welcomed into the foyer with its limestone radiant heated floors, that opens to the sunlit family room & renovated eat-in-kitchen & butler’s pantry. Wide-plank chestnut floors in the original part of the house, exposed hand-hewn beams & luxury finishes infuse timeless character. The gracious living room features a stone fireplace & built-in bookcases, a capacious dining room with French doors that lead to a private stone terrace & a study with numerous windows opens to the rose garden. A guest bedroom & full bath complete the first floor. The master bedroom suite features two dressing rooms, a spa like bath with a deep soaking tub. Two additional generous sized bedrooms, closets galore & a great room with a vaulted ceiling, wet bar, gas fireplace, and an office/exercise room add endless possibilities to this incredible home. The mahogany deck, picturesque private backyard with a custom-built fire-pit truly provide for a tranquil retreat. It is minutes away from the Westport train station, local shops & restaurants & an easy commute to I-95. This special home has it all & is one that has to be seen to experience how wonderful it would be to own a slice of Westport history.
