A masterclass in modern coastal architecture, this four-level waterfront retreat delivers a seamless connection to the Saugatuck River. Floor-to-ceiling glass anchors the open-concept main floor, filling it with natural light and showcasing broad river views. Recent high-end infrastructure and tech upgrades make the home as smart as it is stylish--featuring custom Lutron automated window shades throughout, a fully integrated audio/video system, custom window and retractable door screens, and EV charger pre-wiring. Outdoors, enjoy an automatic irrigation system, a conservation-approved custom wire and rail fence, and dock approvals nearing completion, clearing the path to launch your boat into Long Island Sound. An adjacent park further preserves the home's scenic setting and surrounding privacy. Spanning 1,841 intelligently planned square feet, the layout offers ideal space separation and turn-key, lock-and-go convenience: a private second-floor primary suite with walk-in closet and en suite bathroom with tub and steam shower, a third-floor guest suite with a private balcony, and a lower-level family room next to a third bedroom with ensuite bathroom and walk-in closet. Just outside, a water's edge terrace offers effortless riverfront entertaining--all in a prime Westport setting moments from downtown, offering immediate access to local dining, shops and parks. Agent is related to Owner.
