Westport home perfect for large family

 "Traditional" and "gorgeous" could be used to describe the colonial at 1 Freedom Court.

A great family home, it has four bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms including a master suite. It has an eat-in kitchen, a finished basement, a huge deck, and a wooded backyard.

The house is located off Sanford Road on a quiet, rural street. It’s about two miles from the many businesses and restaurants on Route 6.

At seven years young, the house needs absolutely nothing to move in. It’s been well maintained and has loads of space.

The natural wood shingle exterior fit in well with the home’s surroundings. There is off-street parking for two vehicles. The 10x20 wood framed shed is fully wired for sound and electricity.

Through the front door, an elegant foyer is topped by a pretty chandelier. Eye-catching cherry stained hardwood floors gleam throughout the house.

The home has a formal and casual living room separated by elegant pocket doors inset with paned glass. It also has a formal dining room. The rooms are bright and airy with off-white walls to make decorating a breeze.

The woodwork and mouldings are bright white and contrast nicely with the dark floors. The home flows nicely from one room to another.

The eat-in kitchen is lovely with cherry cabinets that match the hardwood floors. The counters and island top are in neutral shades. Recessed lighting is great for cooking. Pendant lights hang over the island.

Doors lead out to a 44-by-22 mahogany deck where the family can dine under mature shade trees.

There is a half bathroom off the hall on the main level. It has a marble topped vanity and ceramic tile floor. The laundry room is conveniently located across from the bathroom and is a neat space. Between the two rooms is a side door that goes out to the yard.

The bedrooms are up the attractive wooden staircase.

The master bedroom is large and has three windows. It has a huge walk-in closet. The attached bathroom has a cherry wood vanity and a ceramic tile floor.

Each of the other three bedrooms vary in size and each has a double closet. If not all are needed as sleeping quarters, office or den spaces are a possibility.

There is another full bathroom off the hall.

The home has a large, full basement. It is nearly finished with knotty pine walls and Pergo wood-look floors. All that is needed is to finish the ceiling. The space is bright and could become a second family room or work room.

The home has hot water baseboard oil heat and 200 amp electricity. It has a Kinetico high-end water filtration system.

An open house is scheduled for Sunday from 1 to 2:30 p.m. Those interested in viewing the house are invited to attend.
