Property Description
Remarkable Restoration in progress - the heavy lifting is done! The Frederick Morehouse Home, an 1840 Greek Revival residence on the National & State Registers of Historic Homes, is a gem on one of the most desired streets in Westport. Life feels less complicated on this walkable, bikeable, playable one-way street, near Kings Highway Elementary School and downtown. Restaurants, shops, the library and evolving riverfront are all so close. The structure is being restored to its original glory, but w/all the conveniences of contemporary life. Designed by architect Deirdre O’Farrelly (Christ & Holy Trinity Church expansion), the plans have been approved by the stringent Kings Highway North HDC. Work has begun by ARD Builders from Guilford. New basement footings and a concrete floor have been poured, sump pump installed and the envelope of the home tightened w/ energy efficient insulation. New Marvin windows and interior edits have opened the core of the house to showcase a state of the art kitchen and FR. The LR/library has been enhanced w/new french doors, opening to a bluestone patio and garden. Upstairs, full bath renovations, bedroom tweaks, a laundry room addition and floor refinishing will make the spaces more functional and luxurious. This home is wonderfully deceiving w/three floors of living, 9’+ ceilings, 5 fireplaces and .60/acre. If historic charm and understated elegance are what you seek, come to 64 Wright Street and become the next stewards of this antique home.
