About This Property
his custom Craftsman-style Cape Cod located on a quiet street is sure to catch your eye. The design by architect Edmund Clemente, with input from the owner, transformed 29 Osborne Place from a 1947 Cape into this unique home you see today.
Every detail was carefully planned, from the swooping roofline to the copper gutters, from the bracketed portico to the custom trim of the interior doors and windows, to the period style oak stairwell. As you enter the home through the brick red front door you are greeted by the cozy living room, anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and custom built-in cabinetry. The family room also features custom cabinetry, the perfect spot to display artwork and your prized possessions, and brings warmth to the room.
The large kitchen has plenty of cabinet and countertops as well as a peninsula for extra seating and a dining area that overlooks the private backyard. Off the kitchen you’ll find a half bathroom/laundry area, a mudroom, and a home office, both with access to the backyard. We aren’t done yet... don’t miss the expansive first floor primary bedroom suite, along the South wing of the house. A large walk-in closet and spacious bathroom with separate tub and glass walk-in shower complement the oversized bedroom to complete this suite. You’ll love waking up hearing the birds chirp right outside, admiring the wonderful view of the backyard, and enjoying morning coffee in the screened-in porch, which is accessible off the master bedroom as well as the kitchen and deck. The second floor has two bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a loft area - an ideal space for playroom, homework area, or reading nook.
The oversized garage space is insulated and heated and the second level has the potential to be finished for a studio, play, or work area. Surrounded by mature trees and flora and detailed with brick and stone walkways and a charming picket fence, the property is second to none. Every tree was chosen by the owner, even in the backyard! Relax on the deck and take in your outdoor oasis. Private and tranquil, yet so close to the amenities. Walk to shops on the Post Road, downtown Southport, Southport Park, or the Southport Train Station. It’s also a quick drive to the many beaches in the area, parks, downtown Fairfield, I-95, the Post Road, stores, restaurants, and schools. This Craftsman home has a lot of heart and soul to it, and will welcome the next owner with open arms
