A standout midcentury prefab home in Weston, CT, just hit the market for $1,750,000.

The style of home has been dubbed the “East Coast Eichler” by Architectural Digest, according to the listing notes.

The term refers to midcentury modern tract housing developed mainly on the West Coast by home builder Joseph Eichler.

This striking, three-bedroom residence from 1967 sits on 2 acres, with 265 feet of frontage on the Saugatuck River. The spread also boasts a separate studio.

Listing agent Laurie Crouse, of Coldwell Banker Realty, notes that the Saugatuck “is a significant river, as it meanders from Weston to Westport and eventually into Long Island Sound. Up here, it is just rural and gorgeous. On this street, there is a row of different modular and midcentury homes, which is unusual for the area.”

The modernized, 3,313-square-foot dwelling is also a true prefab build from Deck House, which has been manufacturing thousands of homes since the 1940s.

This design features its trademark post-and-beam construction, vaulted ceilings, and expansive use of glass.

“It was totally renovated by the current owners, who purchased it in 2014,” Crouse says.

Updates included a remodeled kitchen and bathrooms. Some of the windows were replaced, and solid-slab doors were added, as were new septic, plumbing, and electrical systems. The home was also painted inside and out, and a metal roof was installed.

“There is a separate studio that was a shed, and they converted it and added a deck in front with sliders, new windows, doors, and flooring, and relandscaped the entire property,” Crouse adds.

The main floor features a spacious living room with a fireplace, gourmet chef’s kitchen, primary suite, and office.

Meanwhile, the home’s lower level comprises a family room with a fireplace and sliders that open to a slate terrace.

“There are windows all along the back that gaze out at the river,” Crouse notes. “The home is a post-and-beam construction. While they were renovating, they covered some baseboards with mahogany. It was a really nuanced detail. … The rooms flow really well from one to another.”

The deck out back was designed to extend the main home’s living area.

“There is a Brazilian hardwood deck that becomes an extra living space in the summer,” Crouse says. “It is such a serene and tranquil setting.”

And the separate, 320-square-foot studio has a deck of its own that overlooks the river. The structure could also be used as a guesthouse, home office, or gym.

Crouse says potential buyers from all over the country have expressed interest in the house.

“In our area, Weston is a destination of beaches, schools, and towns,” she says. “In this case, people are not as destination driven as they are house driven. Some are coming from New York City and elsewhere, but they are coming because of the architecture.”

As a resident of Weston, the new owner will have access to Westport’s beaches but will also enjoy the advantages of returning to a quiet escape from the hustle and bustle. Westport, which is Weston’s sister city, is about 60 miles from New York City.

“This house is about 10 minutes from the center of Westport,” Crouse says. “Weston stands on its own merit, but the town is small. Westport has lots of shopping, beaches, and restaurants.”
