Preservation Award Winner: 48 Turkey Hill Road South

The house at 48 Turkey Hill South—for many years the residence of Martha Stewart—is among eight winners of the Westport Historic District Commission 2009 Preservation Awards to be presented in a Town Hall ceremony at 10 a.m. on Saturday. The HDC said it recognized owners Chuck and Casey Berg “for enlarging this outstanding Greek Revival house in a sensitive and appropriate manner…The unobtrusive addition, which is at the rear of the house, does not detract from the original historic structure.”  Known as The Andrews-Thorpe-Howe House, c.1820 the HDC said, “This is an example of how an antique house can be successfully rehabilitated to accommodate the needs of a 21st century family.” (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com
