Editor's Choice: 340 South Compo Road

You've gotta love the details and character in a house built in the 1920s.  But of course, seeing the word "character" in a real estate listing often sends buyers running for the hills. It might be code for "this house is falling apart."

 

So the house at 340 South Compo Road in Westport comes as a groovy surprise.  It's got the style, look and unique nature of a house that's been on the beach in Westport since before you were born, but it also has a brand new kitchen.  In fact, it's got a brand new everything, including recessed lighting and exterior beach shower. This place has truly been restored from "top to bottom," the listing says. And the pictures prove it.  The updating is flawless and modern.  You really can do just what the listing agent says and "move right in for summer at the beach."

 

Oh, just one thing before you pull out your checkbook. All this new world luxury comes with a 21st Century pricetag:  asking $1,885,000.  The builder back in 1920 could would have thought that a Rockefeller price for his quaint four bedroom three bath beach house.
