select a home close to the Longshore Country Club and within walking distance
to Compo Beach.

town, according to Westport Now. The couple was known for tearing up the town
and taking wild rides on the Post Road.

Great Gatsby author, it also won the Westport Historic Preservation award. The
home was built in the 1700’s.

• Six
beds
• Five
baths
• Fenced
yard
• Pool
and pool house

cellar and tasting room
The asking price is $2,599,000.
