Historical Homes
47 Charcoal Hill Rd, Westport, CT 06880
Tucked behind gates in the estate area of Westport, this remarkable stone residence evokes the spirit of a European castle—timeless, private, and full of character. Set across two distinct parcels, the property blends old-world craftsmanship with the amenities of a modern-day compound, offering a rare sanctuary of comfort and seclusion.
The main parcel is home to the primary residence, where grand interior spaces flow effortlessly into outdoor living areas. Highlights include both an outdoor and indoor swimming pool, a separate pool house with exercise facilities, a dedicated pool kitchen, and a tennis court—designed for both daily living and lively gatherings.
The architectural design features a harmonious blend of formality and whimsy, including hidden rooms, dramatic stonework, and unique period details rarely found in contemporary construction. With a layout ideal for entertaining, the home features generous entertaining rooms and 5 to 6 bedrooms, depending on configuration.
On the second parcel, a charming caretaker’s cottage adds flexibility and function to the estate, enhancing the sense of a self-contained retreat.
This is a home where the lines between indoors and outdoors blur, where history meets lifestyle, and where every corner invites discovery. A place where one can live fully without ever needing to step beyond the gates.
