The stone and wood colonial house at 6 Cobble Hill Road sits on a one-acre level property on a cul-de-sac in Westport’s Old Hill neighborhood.

It was built in 2012 with modern amenities “creating the perfect oasis for today’s family; … a private retreat minutes from town and train,” according to the listing agent. The location of this 14-room house at the end of a cul-de-sac in Westport’s Old Hill neighborhood places it within convenient proximity of the Post Road (Route 1), shops, restaurants, Kings Highway Elementary School, the public library, and the Levitt Pavilion. It is also close to Earthplace - the Nature Discovery Center and its Newman-Woodward hiking trail and Wheels in the Woods trail, suitable for wheelchairs and strollers.

The marble master bath features a steam shower, soaking tub, a dressing table, and a pair of marble pedestal sinks. The Lillian Wadsworth Arboretum is also quite close by. The 62-acre wildlife sanctuary and 12-acre arboretum are within walking distance and are well worth the effort, although this home sits on a private one-acre level property that is a sanctuary of its own.

Off the master bedroom suite there is a room that could serve as a sitting room, nursery, or as a second home office or study.

“Begin your day on the covered porch and spend your evenings by a roaring fire in the great room,” the agent said. Spend leisurely cold weather weekends in the library or game room, and warm weather months lounging on the expansive bluestone terrace and swimming in the custom heated Gunite in-ground pool.

Attractive landscaping is a welcoming element as is the wrap-around covered front porch. A wide and welcoming flagstone path leads to the covered front entrance and large wrap-around porch. Inside, the house features 8,137 square feet of living space and sophisticated architectural finishes, an open floor plan, and oversized windows. In the two-story foyer the distinctive staircase features custom moldings. A wide arched entryway opens into the formal living room, which has a fireplace. The formal dining room has two corner china cabinets.

In the formal living room there is a fireplace with sophisticated molding on the mantel. (virtually staged) The library, which could be pressed into service as a home office, features a coffered ceiling, a built-in window seat and nearly floor-to-ceiling bookshelves. In the family room, the lower half of a red brick wall houses a fireplace. This room is open to the gourmet kitchen and breakfast room; the three combining to create a great room.
