Are you looking to own a piece of Fairfield’s history? This pre-revolutionary home is one of the few houses the British troops left untouched when they passed through during the Revolutionary War. Tucked behind large arbors on one of Fairfield’s most prestigious streets, this house features a 1725-built home and a barn with a second floor apartment.

Inside, wide plank floorboards, wooden beams, and open spaces grace the entire home and elicit charm, character, and the enchantment only an antique home can bring. The spacious foyer opens to the front-to-back living room/dining room. The fireplace puts the “heart” in “hearth;” this impressive fireplace sets the tone for the rest of the home. Imagine dinner parties, book clubs, and holidays spent in this cozy and warm space!

The updated eat-in kitchen blends a modern and historic feel… the high-end, stainless steel appliances such as the Wolf 6 burner range and SubZero refrigerator, along with the country style cabinetry, create a perfect space to cook and entertain. Finishing off the first floor is the family room; dressed with beams and a formal fireplace, with a powder room tucked off into the corner, this space is calling your name to relax by the fire with a good book.

Upstairs, a pleasant surprise awaits! The expansive primary bedroom with beams, exposed brick, a huge walk-in closet, and updated primary bathroom with soaking tub will charm you. The second bedroom can also be found on this floor, which has an abundance of storage space and built-ins. The third floor is home to the third bedroom with a sitting area, closet with sliding barn door, and storage in the eaves; both bedrooms share an updated full bathroom on the second level.

The detached barn is ideal for a garage, and the extra space above the garage features a bedroom, full bathroom, a kitchenette, and private balcony and entrance. Multi-functional, it can be used for an in-law apartment, au pair suite, guest house, artist’s studio, or home office.

Enjoy peaceful nights relaxing on your expansive lawn, playing fetch with the dog, and watching wildlife on your two private acres with stunning foliage such as a yellow magnolia tree and a Weeping Katsura tree. This home is located in Greenfield Hill and is in a prime location for walking to the Dogwood Festival at the Greenfield Hill Congregational Church, yet minutes to downtown Fairfield, schools, shops, restaurants, I-95, the Merritt Parkway, the Fairfield train station, and so much more. Enjoy country living in a one-of-a-kind home with so much history and love behind it.
