UPDATE The Zillow.com real estate website today highlighted a $90,000 Westport summer rental in a round-up of celebrity renters and landlords.

It did not pinpoint the owner or location of the six-bedroom, five and a half bathroom, 6,079 square foot home other than to link to a listing describing it as on four acres of former Audubon Society property on Westport’s “Gold Coast.”

However, local real estate agents said it was at 69 Beachside Ave. and noted that Zillow.com erroneously reported it as a $90,000 a month rental when it actually is for the Memorial Day to Labor Day weekend period. They also said the current listing price was $3.995 million.

The listing said the property has sweeping lawns and a “pond, big enough for a kayak, with a private island.”

It said the landscaped grounds feature a pool and Har-Tru tennis court and is steps from the beach. The house has a spectacular entry hall with 25-foot ceilings “that leads to the living and dining rooms, library and glorious kitchen that offers family dining and a sitting area.”

Comings and Goings: Wachovia Out, Wells Fargo In

The Wachovia sign on the bank branch at Westport’s 422 Post Road East changed over the weekend to Wells Fargo. According to an employee at the Westport branch, the name change occurred on Saturday for all 70 Wachovia branches in Connecticut. San Francisco-based Wells Fargo took over troubled North Carolina-based Wachovia in December 2008. The $12.7 billion sale more than doubled the size of Wells Fargo, creating the fourth-largest U.S. bank by assets. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com
