Built in 1929 in an arts-loving town, the Keene-Calhoun home embodies Westport’s rich heritage.
Renowned Oscar-winning actress Bette Davis was drawn to this tranquil suburban community,
making 1 Crooked Mile her residence in 1967. Nestled along the western branch of the Saugatuck
River, the property provided Davis with the serenity needed to pen her memoir. She cherished the
peaceful allure of the walkable Red Coat neighborhood throughout her stay until 1976.
From the moment you pass through the stately stone pillars, it’s clear you’ve arrived at a truly
exceptional property. Mature landscaping lines the circular drive, offering a sense of seclusion that
unfolds gradually. Thoughtfully curated, continuously blooming gardens evoke the feel of a private
park, enhancing the home’s timeless charm.
Inside, the residence has been masterfully updated—seamlessly blending its historic character with
today’s modern comforts. Every detail speaks to a careful preservation of antique allure, while
ensuring effortless, contemporary living.
No power? No problem. A full-house generator kicks in automatically, ensuring uninterrupted
comfort year-round. All this, just minutes from downtown Westport’s shops and dining,
Longshore Club Park, top-rated schools, and the Merritt Parkway.
