64 Lyons Plain Road is a captivating, creative home – lovingly enlarged and remodeled with an industrial farmhouse theme including reclaimed doors on barn sliders throughout the rooms
It has graced the cover of Connecticut Cottages and Gardens, was tapped for the Westport Historical Society’s Holiday House Tour and will be featured in an upcoming edition of another design magazine.
Cozy rooms of the original structure were intentionally counterbalanced with a light-filled, kitchen/great room addition featuring a corrugated aluminum ceiling, Murano Glass chandelier and Moderns Fans.
Steel drum pendants are installed over the long dining bar, flanked by 4 original soda-fountain stools.
The cook’s kitchen features two-inch thick marble counter tops, 2 dishwashers, and a 2^nd full-sized refrigerator in the adjacent pantry, entered through a swinging, restaurant door.
Open storage for wood and built-in television cabinetry border a concrete-veneered fireplace.
Corrugated aluminum also lines the ceiling of a 400 sq. ft. covered porch, entered from 4 different rooms through divided light sliding doors.
A maintenance-free terrace, planted with perennials, is anchored by a stainless-steel, gas fireplace.
A bright yellow loading-dock ladder leads to a loft/playroom above the kitchen, where a section of yellow tube slide also connects the loft to an upstairs bedroom and bath.
The large, main-floor master suite includes a sitting area, his & hers walk-in closets, two-inch marble bath counters, reclaimed tub, separate marble shower and Toto Washlet in a private WC.
The study with large fireplace, beamed ceiling and separate entrance is thought to predate the original 1940 cape.
An interior breezeway to the garage features a corkboard wall framed in aluminum and a walk-in closet.
Prior to its current use as an art studio, the finished, walk-out basement with bath and kitchenette was a recreation room for ping-pong and tv.
The tennis court includes a basketball hoop, ringed with discreet, dark fencing bordered by mature privet.
The flexible floor plan can easily accommodate an additional bedroom if desired.
Its current owners often reference the soulful karma of their home, credited in part to a lucky cooper beech opposite the front door.
