Once-in-a-Generation Historic Westport Waterfront Estate
Once-in-a-Generation Historic Estate set on a most coveted stretch of Fairfield County's Gold Coast, with a remarkable provenance as a former Bedford family estate. This extraordinary property is a rare offering that blends timeless architecture with iconic waterfront living. With sweeping views of Long Island Sound, the home's stately presence is matched only by its stunning 3.55 acres of parklike grounds and over 200 feet of waterfront, including a waterfront pool, well-equipped pool house, and 3-bedroom guest cottage. Approach through the gated stone walls and travel the tree-lined drive, enjoying the unfolding Sound views. Rich with original character, the main residence evokes the grace of a bygone era with leaded glass windows, impressive millwork, and grand gathering spaces featuring soaring ceilings designed to showcase the breathtaking views. Included in the home's magic is this wonder: a sailing ship imported from England, reconstructed on site to create a one-of-a-kind study. Generations have hosted parties on these magnificent grounds, enjoyed quiet mornings by the seawall or spent a day boating from the mooring off its private beach. This former longtime home of Lucie Bedford and her husband, Briggs Cunningham - race car driver and America's Cup winner - is a landmark opportunity to own a storied piece of Westport's history along prestigious Beachside Avenue. A one-of-one opportunity to carry on this legacy of luxury and history at this iconic waterfront estate.
