Own a piece of Westport history with the William Kirby House, a classic antique Cape that has been lovingly cared for through generations. Thoughtfully designed for comfortable everyday living, this home offers an easy flow while preserving treasured period details, including wainscoting, two center fireplaces, and classic window designs. Beautfiul fir flooring flows throughout. Exposed beams add height, warmth, and architectural interest to the centrally located kitchen, while a former birthing room offers a practical space for a home office. In 2019, a modern first-floor primary suite was masterfully added, blending antique design with custom construction to create a retreat that rivals those found in newer homes. A stacked washer/dryer in the mudroom/bath adds to the ease of first-floor living. Several access points lead to the stone patio, making outdoor entertaining simple and inviting. Set on a beautifully cared-for lot on desirable Drift Road, this special home is a rare opportunity you won't want to miss.
