Can you say curb appeal?! This classic New England Colonial has all the charm and more, located in one of Fairfield's most sought-after neighborhoods, the University area. The covered front porch invites you in; as you walk in you can feel the warmth of the home and attention to detail with hardwood floors and crown molding throughout the first floor. The living room with wood-burning fireplace and French doors leads to the family room, a cozy room to unwind in at the end of a long day. The spacious dining room has wainscoting and a beautiful floor inlay, adding to the craftsmanship of this home. A multi-functional room can be used as an office, playroom, or could be a great place for a butler's pantry. The entertainer's kitchen will surely impress with plenty of cabinets, granite countertops, large island with seating and storage, and stainless steel appliances. If you love to host, the open kitchen/family room layout can't be beat! Great flow and tons of space for everyone. The first floor is finished with a half bathroom and oversized mudroom that has its own side entrance to the garage.

The second floor holds the primary bedroom suite that anyone would love to come home to, dressed in walls of windows, a tray ceiling, two walk-in closets, and a lovely bathroom with dual sinks, soaking tub, and large shower. The second floor is finished with three additional bedrooms, full bathroom, and laundry. We aren't finished yet! Head down to the lower level and you will find two spacious entertaining areas, an additional bedroom, and full bathroom - the ideal guest room or au pair suite.

Let's head out to the backyard where you'll find an oversized stone patio overlooking the private backyard, the perfect place for a family BBQ and watching friends play ball. You get all of this while living in a wonderful neighborhood surrounded by friendly neighbors and gorgeous homes, a neighborhood that is full of life and hosts yearly block parties... there's nothing better! 165 Hanford Drive is minutes to the Merritt Parkway, I-95, and in between downtown Fairfield and Black Rock Turnpike.
