Synton House was built in 1889 by Rev. Charles Cuthbert Hall as his summer home, a retreat for his family from the heat of Brooklyn, NY. The house has been passed down through the generations and still remains "a tranquil retreat near the shore at Westport." The main house sits proudly on the lot with a secluded yet stately feeling. It is 2 stories with a prairie style roof, 10 bedrooms, and an easy flow to the first floor living spaces. The oversized windows bring in lots of light as the high ceilings give the rooms a spacious feeling. You have a true sense of history as you move through the home. Synton House is located in a quiet setting down a private dirt lane and is situated in an open yard surrounded by mature trees and remnants of gardens past. The property includes a wonderfully charming barn/cottage nestled in its own yard. Additionally, there is a 25' right of way to the Westport River.
A tranquil retreat near the shore at Westport. Historic house on 4.2 acres surrounded by mature trees and remnants of gardens passed. Located down long private lane. Includes barn/cottage and 25' foot right-of-way to river. A Westport treasure!
