Notes from the host
Country Lane Private Backyard
Beautiful neighborhood close to town. Walk to restaurants, town tennis courts. One floor living.
Wheels2U, a town sponsored transport system, pick up at home during specific hours, operates to take folks to and from commuter rail station that takes you to Grand Central Station in Manhattan should there be commuters in your family or group. UBER/Lyft operates here as well.
Saugatuck Middle School, Kings Highway Elementary and Staples High School. Available for longer term in relocation or renovation. Academic year 2025/26 available. That said our typical short-term rental is welcome.
Neighborhood is two cul de sacs with many younguns', Mature trees with specimen copper beach, Japanese maple and chestnut tree twins. Private, flat, backyard. Great neighborhood.
Bus pick up at the end of our street for Saugatuck, Bedford and Staples school kids during the school year.
This home is in the heart of the beautiful town of Westport. It is perfect to kick back and relax. Our home is comfortable with a great flow from indoors to outside. My children were raised here, family gatherings that spill to the great back yard spring, summer and fall. Touch football all year long (or soccer) on our flat one acre. Outdoor grilling or many nights just looking at the stars and watch the wind in the trees. Summer hear the music from the Levitt Pavillion (or join the fun - its free almost every night in summer!). Winter snow sled at Winslow Park, Ice Skate at Longshore and it is a must to attend Staples High School Candlelight Service in December!
KITCHEN: Everything you need to cook but it is an older home so kitchen reflects the time. Oven, stove, refrigerator with FILTERED water on the door and inside door pitcher to pour for filtered morning water coffee. That said our city water is great too. Of course, all the tools to cook and entertain. Spring, Summer and Fall eat in the Sun Room surrounded by glass. This space is also a great office or for morning coffee. A large desk and chair. Capacity to hold multiple screens.
The dining room
holds 8 comfortably but can seat 10. Food service supplies for toddlers.
CATERING: There are WONDERFUL takeout choices from Collyer Catering and Fresh Market to Stew Leonard's and an array of restaurants who deliver. As well as our favorite, gas grill out of doors barbecue.
ONE FLOOR LIVING: 3 bedrooms, both baths, living room, dining room, kitchen all on the same floor. Primary bedroom has attached bath. Bathroom in primary is shower only. Large enough to fit a waterproof chair if desired.
Baby grand piano in living room.
Large screen TV in living room.
SUNROOM: a small step down with doors from the kitchen, living room and french doors framing the dining room to the sun room to the expansive backyard. The sunroom glass sliders open fully.
SUNROOM WINTER: Wood pellet stove warms this lovely space although it does require filling the pellet feeder. Pellet stove is required for winter time otherwise the room needs to be closed off. This, as noted, can be the office with its large desk and nature facing back yard. Lovely space.
BACK DECK: Summer time find chaise lounges, table with chairs, sofa all make the back deck a casual fun place to play cards, read or take a nap. Propane grill. Private flat back yard with open space. Daily deer crossing, chipmunks, squirrels due to the nut trees.
BASEMENT: white and bright spacious laundry room with folding table (s), ironing board and iron, steamer.....
