Weekender, year-round retreat, or investment opportunity; this condo alternative charmer checks every box. Sun-filled and single-story, this happy home was cherished by its original family for over 50 years and the now second owner refreshed and revealed the original integrity of the home through thoughtful updates and upgrades. Award-winning builder/owner created a beautiful blend of whimsy and sophistication that brings character and craftsmanship to every corner of this Westport cottage great for short or long term tenant. Custom kitchen cabinetry and new appliances make for easy living with elevated style in a warm, welcoming space ready for today's discerning buyer. A cozy finished lower level adds extra square footage perfect for a playroom, office, or relaxed retreat with natural light. Adjacent garage, better utilized as storage, walks out to the side garden. Steps away, a babbling brook with a sweet little bridge winds along the property, beckoning the nature lover to wander out and enjoy the outdoor oasis with patio, garden, and mature trees in this natural setting. Thoughtfully maintained with a roof new in 2013, plus a new furnace and new hot water heater in 2022 and in 2026 brand new windows throughout the home leave nothing for the next steward to do except live here and love life. Centrally set on a quiet cul-de-sac, all of Westport's amenities are minutes away. Welcome to the Bridge House!
