Storied Westport Residence. This striking, three-storey Italianate manor in Greens Farms earned its name, Franton Court, from the original curator and co-founder of the Guggenheim museum. Celebrated artists Wassily Kandinsky, Fernand Léger, Marc Chagall and even Frank Lloyd Wright were frequent visitors.
The home is sited on 3 acres of verdant grounds next to 7-acre nature and wildlife sanctuary. The extensively renovated 7,135 square foot, 8 bedroom, 8 bath and 2 partial baths are simply divine. Outdoors the immaculately kept grounds feature a pool and professional tennis court. Downtown or the beach in merely minutes away with less than an hour commute to Manhattan.
A Work of Art
The remarkable design and cunning craftsmanship give the impression that this is no mere house but, perhaps, a work of art. Light reflects and shimmers throughout each uniquely designed room with its dramatic flair. Architectural details include 10-foot ceilings and nine fireplaces.
Furthering the splendor are a family room, library, foyer, formal dining room, and a primary suite with a fireplace and a balcony overlooking the grounds.
In a different tone, but no less dramatic, is the entertainment barn with its open space and soaring ceiling and full bar. Visitors will also appreciate the comfort of the two bedroom Guest House.
