Welcome to 17 River Lane
Stone Heart of Westport. In a town with many significant
residences, this renowned English villa manor stands apart.
Built in 1929, this architecturally important home was
commissioned for the Lowe’s family (theatres and MGM Studi-
os), and was a guest destination for a considerable number of
Hollywood and theatrical royalty. Nobly sited atop a knoll, a first
impression is a lasting one. Steps inside the inspired
entrance foyer reveals the English, Tudor style linen fold wood
panels. As you wander deeper, the invention and intention are
revealed. Hand-forged iron work, leaded glass windows,
exquisite Italianate details throughout. Roman arches in the
loggia, Gothic arches by the pool. Stucco and plaster as artistry
rather than mere texture. It’s an estate with a storied past and a
new chapter ready and waiting to be written.
