FURNISHED VINTAGE STONEHOUSE 1.5 BEDROOM APARTMENT - Fully Furnished - Unique - Charming - Inviting - Dramatic (Westport CT)
$2,700 per month with six month lease
$3,000 per month with 12 month lease
Located within a historic granite stone house which has been in our family for over 50 years, this apartment is totally private & fully furnished with artwork, sculpture and conveniences that make it a standout in Fairfield County.
And, that doesn't begin to describe the beauty of the polished wood floors throughout.. the picture windows out into your own private scenic yard, alive with nature's blooming greenery and a variety of wild animals.
Then there is the large hand-built stone fireplace and the artful furniture, including a fully adjustable queen bed in the master bedroom, plus a large walk-in closet.
Don't forget the alcove which doubles as a cozy second bedroom with is queen-sized sofa bed. And the 10-foot commanding horse sculpture in the backyard that you see out the picture window and walk past every day on the way to your car, your bike, or one of several walking paths around the property.
The winter-time heat comes from baseboard-heated water radiators - Rare, expensive to build, and importantly, this means during the winter the air inside the apartment does Not dry out like it does with common forced air heating. It's totally silent as well.
The yard is usually inhabited by birds, squirrels, chipmunks, rabbits, and deer. And sometimes, the beauty of a baby bobcat.
The driveway is hidden, and the house is undetectable from the road. It's private.
And being right off historic Newtown Turnpike (where stagecoaches traveled from Stamford up to Newtown in the 1800's.), there is little traffic to begin with. The apartment is 99% free of any road/car noise. It is Serene.
There is parking for multiple cars.
We are leaving for San Diego to be with family. Otherwise, we would never give this place up.
Built more than 80 years ago using solid granite sourced from the same quarry as the foundation of the Statue of Liberty, this remarkable property combines historic craftsmanship with modern comfort.
