1.4 Acres of cut granite & fieldstone walls add to the charm of this sprawling Westport Farmhouse with the artistic touch of a curved mahogany deck! Keeping with the look of days gone by are two early sheds, and a post and beam Barn. The barn, however, is 10 years young atop the old foundation of a blacksmith's shop, and is presently used as an artist's studio.
