The Bross Chingas Bross team is in their thirteenth year as the number one real estate group in Westport, and it’s easy to see why. All three partners— Barbara Bross, Alexander Chingas, and Douglas Bross— are from the area, and know the market here inside out. So it was no surprise when they were announced as the listing agent for the spectacular two-acre property at 5 Fraser Road. The six bedroom home, with eight full and two half bathrooms, was built by Skyview Builders, a full-service design build company for high-end custom residences in Fairfield County. The Bross Chingas Bross team has a longstanding business relationship with Skyview: last year, they represented both Skyviewas the seller as well as the buyer of a Skyview home in the Coleytown area that sold for $7.25 million— the largest non-waterfront sale in Westport in 2024 (per SmartMLS data). Because Skyview knows and trusts Bross Chingas Bross, Alexander and Doug explain that they’ve been involved with 5 Fraser since the literal ground floor. “The excitement for us started right from the beginning- [Skyview] leaned on our experience to help them bring a product to market that’s going to meet the needs of the buyer, from the floor plans to the finish selections,” explains Alexander. “Through each phase of the building, it’s been so exciting because there are so many things you don’t often see in a house,” agrees Doug.
Among the home’s standout features are approximately 1,800 square feet of glass by Klar Studio Windows and Doors, seven miles of LED lighting, 45,000 linear feet of radiant heat floor tubing, 3,000 cubic yards of concrete, and 25 tons of porcelain. “It makes it really exciting to show the property, because there’s so much that has gone into this house,” says Doug.
With so many amazing amenities, it’s hard to pick a favorite feature, but Alexander says that his might just be the aesthetic of the house overall. “Because of how modern and bold it is, sometimes people don’t associate it with being a New England home,” he says. “But to me, this house proves that modern design and extensive use of glass is the way to go in Connecticut, because it captures the scenic beauty of the setting so perfectly. When you go into this house, there is a room on the third floor that looks out over basically all of Westport’s tree line. If a more conventional home had been built in that setting—without such extensive use of glass and modern design—the views would have been left behind.”
One of the reasons the Bross Chingas Bross team is such a perfect fit for 5 Fraser is because of their strong roots in the Westport community. “Clients who are waiting for the right house to become available have already crossed the threshold with us—they’ve inquired about our listings or come to see our properties in the past and we know what was right or not right about those homes for their needs,” Alexander explains. So when a listing as special as 5 Fraser comes up, the team knows which buyers to call. “We’re very focused on networking.”
That extends outside the immediate Westport area as well: “We’re in touch with the top brokers in all the markets that feed Westport— New York, the Boston area, Southern California, Silicon Valley, Texas, Miami, Phoenix,” says Alexander. For prospective buyers not in Fairfield County, having the insights the Bross Chingas Bross team provides is invaluable. “We often become people’s first friends here— they’ve zeroed in on a place they want to live but they don’t know anyone there yet and so we become the first point of contact,” says Alexander. “We love helping them get introduced to the area and what it has to offer, and make it a community for them.”
Whoever ends up living at 5 Fraser, they will be a lucky client indeed. “It’s a wonderful time for a buyer to enjoy living their dream life,” says Doug. To learn more about 5 Fraser Road, visit 5fraserrd.com.
