Property Description

The Weston Cottage-where timeless charm, remarkable history, and tranquil riverfront living come together. Nestled along the river on the coveted Weston/Westport border, this beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2.5 bath home offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Connecticut history. Famously known as the retreat of legendary actress Bette Davis, the cottage became the setting for the true story that inspired the hit play Me and Jezebel, after Davis unexpectedly stayed for 32 unforgettable days. Today, this captivating home blends historic character with modern comfort. The renovated kitchen features a Wolf range, Bosch column refrigerator, and inviting marble fireplace, while all three bathrooms have been tastefully updated. Fresh interior and exterior paint, new lighting, and custom built-ins completed in 2025 enhance the home's move-in-ready appeal. Wake to the soothing sounds of the river, enjoy peaceful outdoor living, and experience the privacy and beauty of this exceptional setting just minutes from the shopping, dining, beaches, and train station in Westport. Whether you're searching for a full-time residence or a weekend escape, The Weston Cottage offers an extraordinary lifestyle in one of Fairfield County's most desirable locations.
