Refined Living in Coveted Sasqua Hills: Just steps over the Westport border, Braybourne Drive is a hidden gem-a private cul-de-sac of just 9 homes framed by stone pillars and mature trees. Within walking distance to Shorehaven Golf Club and Saugatuck Harbor Yacht Club, this meticulously maintained and renovated residence offers a rare blend of privacy, luxury, and coastal convenience. The grand entrance foyer opens to elegant formal living and dining rooms, leading to a dramatic family room with soaring ceilings, wide-mouth fireplace, sunroom/billiards room, and wet bar-perfect for entertaining. Walls of glass open to a sprawling composite deck overlooking a private backyard oasis with in-ground gunite pool, gardens, flowering trees, cedar privacy fencing, and lush lawn. The chef's kitchen was recently renovated with custom wood island, quartz countertops, slab backsplash, gourmet appliances, and a built-in desk with storage pantry. A mudroom, laundry area, and powder room add function just off the kitchen, leading to a finished lower level with over 1,000 sq ft of bonus space including wine room, storage, and flexible rooms for media, crafts, or play. The den & office with privacy door, full bath and closet adds flexibility for an au pair suite or in-law setup. The main-level primary suite is a luxurious retreat with a custom dressing room-style closet and renovated spa-like bath featuring custom vanities, freestanding tub with chandelier, water closet and walk-in (cont'd) marble shower. A second bedroom suite offers two closets (1 cedar) as well as an updated ensuite bath with hall access. Upstairs offers open views to the main level, three additional bedrooms, a full bath, and walk-in attic access (new insulation throughout). A truly unique home in one of our favorite neighborhoods-minutes to the best of Westport & Norwalk alike: shopping/dining, clubs, beaches, parks, marinas, and a vibrant coastal lifestyle.
