About This Property
Welcome to this exquisitely renovated and well-loved antique home, perfectly situated in the heart of Fairfield's highly sought-after Fairfield Woods neighborhood. Rich in history yet thoughtfully reimagined for modern living, this exceptional residence masterfully blends timeless architectural character with refined contemporary elegance. Stone walls, hydrangea bushes, endless curb appeal and a charming front porch sets the tone for this classic New England home with Victorian flair.
Sun-drenched interiors, hardwood floors, graceful proportions, a traditional floor plan, and detailed craftsmanship define every space, creating a home that is both inviting and sophisticated. Detailed window and door casings, wide baseboards, and custom millwork lend depth, texture, and a sense of enduring quality. These details seamlessly connect each room, honoring the home’s antique roots while elevating the overall aesthetic.
Just past the foyer, the gracious living room exudes warmth and charm, highlighted by a wall of elegant built-in shelves and cabinetry, a gas fireplace framed by classic detailing, and a large picture window framing gorgeous sunsets over the backyard. Just beyond, the dining room is inviting and luminous, offering a wonderful setting for intimate dinners or larger celebrations.
The stunning eat-in kitchen is the heart of the home and a showstopper in every sense. It features gorgeous quartzite countertops, an oversized center island ideal for gathering, and abundant custom cabinetry, all thoughtfully designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. Additional details include a Monogram 6 burner range, pot filler, a large built-in hutch, white tile backsplash, an eating area, and a walk-in pantry, which connects to the stylish half bathroom.
French doors open to the covered patio, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow - perfect for al fresco dining, relaxing on a summer evening, and hosting guests. Off to the side, you'll also find a set of stairs to the side yard and driveway, as well as to the lower level. A mudroom, central vacuum, attached garage, and a spacious driveway with extra room add everyday convenience and functionality.
Through a set of pocket doors off the kitchen, you’ll discover a fabulous and grand family room with soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, and a second gas fireplace. This generous space is ideal for relaxed family gatherings, movie nights, or entertaining on a larger scale. Adjacent to the family room is a private office, as well as a beautifully appointed full bathroom featuring double sinks, custom finishes, and a large glass walk-in shower. Notably, the family room offers the flexibility to be converted into a first-floor primary suite, providing exceptional versatility for future needs.
Upstairs, past the skylight in the staircase, the home offers four bedrooms, including a serene primary suite with a spacious bathroom, complete with a glass walk-in shower, double sinks, and heated floor. Two well-proportioned bedrooms and an updated full bathroom can be found on this level, and the finished third floor holds the 4th bedroom. This incredible, open, multi-functional space with a large walk-in closet could work as a bedroom, home office, art studio, playroom, or second family room - the options are endless.
You'll love enjoying all four seasons on the patio or on the level backyard on almost half an acre. Truly turn-key, this home allows you to move right in.
Nestled in a vibrant, walkable community, this special property offers an unparalleled lifestyle - just steps to the elementary school, middle school, and library, and a short drive to Black Rock Turnpike, the Merritt Parkway, I-95, Lake Mohegan, shopping, restaurants, and parks. Here, you’ll find more than just a beautiful house; you’ll find a place where warmth, connection, and community thrive - wonderful reasons to love life here.
