There’s nothing quite like being able to sit quietly in a room, on a deck or on a beach, gaze at the water and gather one’s thoughts in today’s tumultuous world. On the water, the scenery constantly changes; yet is dependably serene. Perched safely on Vineyard Point this grand, waterfront estate, boasts spectacular views of the Connecticut Shoreline all the way to Hammonasset State Park and across the Sound to Long Island. Walls of new Marvin windows overlooking the water offer views that surpass any piece of artwork that might adorn one’s walls.

Nestled safely on a serene 4 acres in the peaceful, sprawling town of Killingworth, Connecticut sits 541 Higganum Road composed in 1755 with many of its 18th Century details intact. Composed, as opposed to built, as in the 18th century homes embraced rooms with purpose; rooms that would sustain memories orchestrated and appreciated by generations to follow.Upon arrival at this special location, situated a mere 8 miles from the Shoreline, you’ll immediately bond with the property’s enchanting environment. The Main House, a Center Chimney Cape, is complimented by a small barn and potting shed and three car garage; all surrounded by stone walls, mature trees, and perennial gardens. The home has a history tied to Abraham Pierson’s family. Pierson was the founder and first president of Yale University. Relax outside and tend to your spacious vegetable beds with the help of nature’s perfect sun and soil. Or sit back on the patio and enjoy views of a tranquil pond and beyond to unspoiled agricultural land. Once inside the main house you’ll immediately be transported back in time. Take in the many period elements such as the 3 working fireplaces that complement the home’s central air and forced air heat, wide board floors and beautifully paneled walls.

The Yale Indians Paper Project humanities endeavor is researching an accurate accounting of the history of Connecticut’s coastal Native Americans. The Revolutionary War brought the British to Campo Beach. Agriculture and a flourishing seaport preceded the artsy types from New York who snapped up real estate at the turn of the century including the wild F. Scott Fitzgerald and sassy Zelda which makes good Westport lore. The arts endure throughout the pandemic at the iconic Westport Country Playhouse. STORY HOUR WITH JENNY via ZOOM is being offered through June 6th. Only 47 miles from NY City, Westport’s vibe is infectious. The Westport Historical Society slogan, “Keeping Westport Alive,” is apropos where great love and respect for this community is its very foundation.

Westport is neatly carved by the Saugatuck River. Each side is uniquely decorated by well-preserved, historic treasures and modern architecture that gently intertwine, connected by the much-admired Saugatuck Bridge. The Saugatuck Rowing Club unites boating enthusiasts where they can take advantage of the abundant water resources and camaraderie. Campo Beach, Old Mill Beach, Burying Hill Beach and Sherwood Island State Park on Long Island Sound are marvelous havens easily accessible from the town center by bicycle or car. Expanse of beaches, jetties, and picnic tables under shady pines make an inviting destination for a day of sun and fun, fishing or an evening stroll. Campo Beach has additional perks for the antsy; playscapes and volleyball.
The Westport community is passionate about its preservation. The Westport Historic Society, The Architectural Review Board and other organizations work tirelessly to ensure that any changes are positive and complimentary. BEDFORD SQUARE is an example of a thoughtfully designed, award winning project that has enhanced the downtown area with a multi-use purpose and consideration of its history. Westport is a work of art that is always evolving, yet stays true to its unique personality.
