15 Parish Road
Westport, Connecticut

Description:

Authentic 1926 farmhouse in prime Westport location. Set on a flat, dry, well-cared for .4-acre lot, the yard is pretty and enjoyable and has an extensive 1-year-old fence. The traditional layout begins with an inviting front porch that opens into a parlor where a fireplace and exposed wood beams exude charm. From the parlor, visit the study, or the spacious dining room. Next to the dining room, find the kitchen where the farm-style shines in authentic details mixed with key updates --manufactured floor, vintage-matched peninsula, and stainless steel appliances. A 2001 expansion added the generous family room w/ vaulted ceiling where many memories have been made. A full bath completes the 1st floor. The freshly painted upstairs provides 4 bedrooms (bright with two windows apiece) and a shared hall bath, all reflecting the proportions and materials of the period. An unfinished basement has the washer/dryer, but is mostly for storage. A detached 2-car garage sits in rear corner of property (needs attention). This isn't a modern renovation--the home remains largely in its original state, but a very nice house for updating or appreciation as-is. For enhancements, the house was converted to Natural Gas in 2012 (a desired fuel); the main house roof (2014). 3 valuable features are public water, sewer, natural gas. Some updates one might consider: new windows, refinish floors, add central a/c, kitchen and bathroom updates. Close to train, dining, schools. Great opportunity!
