Some homes are designed for weekends away. This one makes every day feel like a vacation.
Set along the shores of Compo Mill Cove in Westport’s coveted Compo Beach neighborhood, this $6.8 million waterfront gem pairs classic New England architecture with a relaxed, contemporary sensibility. Designed by Michael Greenberg and completed in 2016, the FEMA-compliant, five-bedroom residence was thoughtfully positioned to capture sweeping views of Long Island Sound from nearly every room.
Rather than competing with the scenery, the interiors embrace it. Reclaimed timber beams, wide-plank oak floors, crisp white millwork, hand-laid stone, and a soft, neutral palette create a sense of coastal warmth while expansive windows and French doors consistently invite the views in. At its heart, a beautifully appointed chef’s kitchen with marble countertops, custom cabinetry, and a reclaimed wood island was clearly designed for meals that linger long after the last course. The home’s open living spaces naturally flow together around a striking stone fireplace before leading outside and extending to the waterfront.
When you do step outside, terraces, hydrangeas, and a plunge pool unfold toward the generous, private stretch of sandy beach. With a waterfront dining patio and native coastal plantings to look forward to, buyers may be pulled to this home as they imagine moments enjoying coffee alfresco or evenings watching sailboats drift by. For a storybook escape from the city or a year-round residence, it doesn’t get much more picturesque than this.
