Westport, Connecticut — September 30, 2016157 Easton Road

Just an hour northeast of New York City, you’ll find 157 Easton Road located in one of Connecticut’s most coveted communities. Set upon 2.75 acres, the 7,885-square-foot estate is nestled along the Aspetuck River, offering complete privacy. The property features five bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a guest house, and a boat house.

Built by Frances Gershwin (sister of George and Ira) and Leopold Godowsky, inventor of Kodachrome, the estate is a year-round entertainer’s paradise in Westport’s affluent Coleytown section, close to renowned schools, shopping, restaurants, and culture. The estate is minutes from both Compo Beach and the Westport Metro-North train station.

Previously listed for $3.599 million, the property will sell to the highest bidder in cooperation with Jeff Dyment of William Raveis Real Estate via our Instant Gavel app on September 30th.

157 Easton Road is a private enclave and year-round entertainer’s paradise, the ideal home for an outdoor gala or intimate dinner party, conveniently located within an hour’s commute to New York City,” states Jeff Dyment, our agent partner. “This waterfront home has history and style. Knowing the auction will attract a whole new crop of potential buyers who will appreciate these unique attributes is exciting.”

“I fell in love with this house 20 years ago because of its build quality and multi-seasonal, multi-generational capabilities,” adds Roger Marriott, who is selling the home with his wife, Jan. “Summers here welcome fly fishing in the river, swimming and boating in the lake, and tennis. Winters are all about fireplaces, cozy nooks, and the indoor pool. When we bought the property, our sons were in their early twenties. Two great weddings later, with receptions here by the waterfalls, we now have four wonderful grandchildren who in turn have enjoyed fishing, playing tennis, swimming, catching frogs in the goldfish ponds, and driving around in the golf cart. We will miss this property dearly, and wish the new owners equally enjoyable memories.”
