About This Home
A rare opportunity to own one of Charcoal Hill's signature properties, this exceptional Frazier Peters stone home pairs historic craftsmanship with a level of care and refinement that is increasingly hard to find. Set atop 2.3 +/- gated acres and introduced through a stunning circular drive, the residence showcases Peters' hallmark use of native stone, warm wood tones, and artisan detail, creating a home that feels both enduring and deeply inviting. More recent expansion and remodeling have sensitively enhanced the home. Sunfilled rooms with vaulted ceilings and handhewn finishes offer a balance of scale, with multiple living spaces that transition seamlessly to the outdoors. The grounds unfold in a series of thoughtfully designed moments including lush perennial gardens, winding paths, quiet terraces, and vibrant seasonal color. At the center is a sparkling, oversized pool with a waterfall spa and a fully outfitted stone pool house, which is an ideal retreat for summer living. A heated 4car stone garage with a finished upper level provides flexible space for a studio, office, or possible guest space. Every corner of the property reveals another place to gather, from sunny patios to shaded areas beneath large awnings, all wrapped in exceptional privacy yet minutes to the energy and amenities of downtown Westport. A home where history, beauty, and modern comfort come together with uncommon harmony.
