About this home
A true Westport icon, 11 Beachside Common is one of the most architecturally distinctive homes on the Connecticut coast-known to anyone who's ever strolled Burying Hill Beach. Set on 2.6 waterfront acres, the property offers sweeping southern views over Sherwood Island and Long Island Sound, with sunsets that rival the Low Country and birdlife that fills the surrounding marsh with movement and sound. With water access for kayaking and paddle boarding, it's a nature lover's paradise wrapped in high design.Originally built in 1971, the home underwent a $13M transformation under acclaimed architect James Biber of Pentagram. The goal: not to create rooms, but to dissolve them. Nearly 9,000 sq ft of open, gallery-like living space is unified by a 150-ft handmade tile path that runs the length of the main level. A soaring central room with exposed aluminum column is flanked by playful architectural elements -domes, portholes, skylight tubes, and a floating staircase.A 3-story "tower," designed as the intellectual center of the home, offers 360-degree panoramic views and quiet workspace. This is a home where design, art, and imagination intersect-and where brilliant minds have found inspiration. From Academy Award winners to world-renowned scientists and adventurers, this home has drawn extraordinary lives. If genius gravitates toward whimsy, perhaps it's because whimsy makes room for wonder-and for those bold enough to see differently.
