Our 3 Favorite Contemporary Homes in Westport

Westport has several fantastic contemporary homes on the market to choose from, and some of them are magnificent. The town was seemingly made for them. Below are our three favorites. (Images are above the address.)

8 Waterside Terrace

Higgins Group

$1,649,000

Waterside is a great contemporary home for several reasons. Firstly its red roof is about as funky chic as it gets in town. The house was redesigned by an artist, and her talent shows. But whereas some contemporary homes go really contemporary, the owners of Waterside made the smart decision to leave a couple rooms more on the traditional side: the home office / library as well as the outdoor man cave / bonus office. This house has a lot to offer. Even more so than its design, Waterside Terrace is located within the Longshore Club Park (a former country club) which means the next owner will be one of only 7 others that will be walking distance to golf, tennis, sailing, swimming, beaches and more. It is also perfect as a weekend retreat for those in New York City or for those within Westport looking to downsize. No property beats this location, and at $1,649,000, 8 Waterside Terrace won’t be around much longer.

5 Laurel Road

Coldwell Banker

$1,799,000

Laurel Road is a masterful new construction. We love how contemporary the exterior is yet how traditionally sophisticated the interior is. The property was designed by J.A. Jamieson and built by Pieka Construction, and they should be proud of their work.  The grey and white interior is the perfect palette for plenty of contemporary art. We can imagine a plethora of Warhol’s and other pieces on the walls.

23 Dogwood Lane

Coldwell Banker

$2,149,000

Dogwood Lane has soul. At least that’s what we feel when we walk in to this mid-century contemporary. It’s sort of like your cool, rich uncle’s place and you can imagine his pool parties in the 1970’s and maybe even Slim Aaron’s taking photos of all the society people that would have been partying here. Although the home does need updating, it more religiously meets the standards of a “contemporary” home than many in town with its dark wood, skylights and beams. 

Overall though, we choose 8 Waterside Terrace with its location and value.
