On the Market: Weston home a perfect country retreat

Meg Barone

WESTON - The two-acre estate at 29 West Branch Road in Lower Weston, on the Westport border, features a tan-colored custom colonial house and beautifully landscaped grounds that are works of art, inside and out.

Parterre gardens provide a relaxing place from which to drink in the visual beauty and perfumed scent from the perennials in this manicured backyard. Beyond the tall privacy hedges is the heated Gunite in-ground swimming pool, spa, pool house with a bath and fireplace, and a built-in grilling area - a perfect country retreat for further relaxation, recreation and entertaining.

Front forecourt and gardens at 29 West Branch Road, Weston. There is room in the pool house for a movie screen and heaters to use this charming space year-round, according to the two listing agents. And there is room on the grounds for a tennis or sports court. Enhancing the entertainment and recreational value is the finished lower level, which features a fireplace, game room, a home theater with a large screen and projector, and a wine cellar that can accommodate at least 1,000 bottles.

Parterre gardens at 29 West Branch Road, Weston. The house, which was built in 2003, “is set beautifully in the property to enhance the architecture,” the listing agents said. In the front of the house the cobblestone forecourt is encircled by rose bushes and other perennial plantings, and serves as an oversized welcome mat at the covered front entrance. The door is framed by sidelights and a fanlight transom, and opens to reveal 7,643 square feet of sophisticated living space; from the elegant living room to the handsome formal dining room with its three-quarter wood paneled walls, and the newly renovated professional kitchen. The attention to detail throughout is evident when entering the center hall foyer, which features flooring in an attractive pattern using a few kinds of hard woods.

Formal dining room at 29 West Branch Road, Weston. The agents said this house is set on “one of Weston’s premier streets, great for biking and walking the dog.” It is a prime location. This house is only minutes from Westport and Weston amenities, and it is only two miles from the Merritt Parkway. This estate is available this coming July, but at the rate that houses have been purchased in the last year it is best to act sooner rather than later.
