1920's Tudor being sold as is. This 3300 square foot home, while magnificent in its time, is from an era that has passed it by. There is hope that the right buyer is out there with vision and the love of classic architecture to repurpose and restore this home to its original beauty, or a builder who can see this as an opportunity to repaint this canvas. The home sits on two magnificent, untamed and rugged acres, high above South Compo. A rare opportunity in the heart of Westport to bring new life to this fantastic setting. This site affords exceptional privacy and is dominated by native rock out cropping, shear cliffs, rolling slope and erratic boulders positioned like giant sculptors. Also listed as Land for sale. MLS #170325853
The property was recently vacated by a life use tenant for over 30 years. The owners of the property have never lived in the home and have no first hand knowledge of it condition of the property as noted in the disclosures. The septic is also unknown and there are no public records.

Two magnificent rugged and untamed acres sitting high above South Compo, are begging for a buyer and builder with vision to give new life to this fantastic setting. Build new or to renovate (also listed as a single family for sale). This site affords exceptional privacy and is dominated by native rock out cropping, shear cliffs, rolling slope and erratic boulders positioned like giant sculptors. The existing 3300 square foot Tudor home built in the late 20's sits on the plateau of this property, but unfortunately time has passed it by.
