WESTON — A nature conservancy and 385-feet of river frontage surround the gray contemporary house at 23 Riverbank Road in the Lower Weston area. This very private setting is an ideal year-round retreat for those who love water views.

This 5,109-square-foot house sits along the Saugatuck River on a 2.2-acre level and sloping property, which includes multiple balconies and wood decks on several levels of the house and property to enjoy the views. The house was built in 1985 by renowned designer and builder, Michael Greenberg of Westport. The house was expanded to its current square footage in 1992, making it an 11-room house with an open layout of flexible-use rooms on the main level, six bedrooms and six full baths.

“This sophisticated sun-filled home is perfect for relaxing after a busy day or stimulating an artist's creativity,” according to the co-listing agents.

To access this modern house cross the bridge over Cartbridge Road and travel down the long, private cul-de-sac, Riverbank Road. Stone pillars topped with lanterns mark the entrance to the driveway, which has ample parking for residents and guests. Another set of pillars and lanterns mark the beginning of a wide slate path to the side yard, a deck, and the river bank.

The gray vertical board house has numerous windows so, even though this property is partially wooded, plenty of natural light floods into its spacious rooms. Enter the house through the long covered slate front patio. Inside, the marble foyer is open to the two-story living room, which has multiple skylights and a fireplace with a raised marble hearth.

Beyond the living room is an open sitting room with a marble fireplace with the same raised hearth. The family room features floor-to-ceiling windows and several sliding doors to a large deck. The eat-in kitchen has a center island with a breakfast bar for three and a double-thick granite counter, side-by-side stainless sinks, and high-end appliances including a Sub-Zero refrigerator and four-burner Thermador range top on the island. Off the kitchen is the dining room, which has a vaulted ceiling, two-walls of nearly floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding doors to one of the decks. The family and dining rooms have great river views.
