Inspired elegance blends with coastal ease at 309 Birch Road. This home offers turn-key, high-end living wrapped in classic New England charm, yet, this is not your average beach home. Extraordinary details and finishes curated by the homeowner blend seamlessly to create a design haven in Fairfield's beach area. Natural light fills this thoughtfully designed and refined home, where elegant millwork, hardwood floors, transom windows, plantation shutters and custom built-ins create a sense of effortless sophistication.

From the second you step into the two story foyer, you’re greeted by superior craftsmanship and character at every turn. Every space feels intentional - from the private office with built-in cabinetry, high-gloss ceiling, chic wallpaper, and a side porch, to the inviting dining room with a wood-burning fireplace and sparkling chandelier, to the serene living room where windows frame picture-perfect views of the lush foliage and the backyard oasis. The striking beaded chandelier adds a whimsical touch to this formal space.

At this home's heart lies the eat-in kitchen, equally suited for casual breakfasts or large entertaining. Stainless steel Wolf appliances, Waterworks fixtures, a pot filler, white cabinetry accented by seeded glass detailing, honed Pietra Cardosa stone countertops, and eye-catching shiplap ceiling ground the space, while a quartz-topped island with storage and seating creates the perfect gathering place. A built-in buffet with the same stunning stone countertops provides an extra place for prized artwork and dishes.

The adjoining breakfast area opens to the dramatic two-story family room, where the vaulted ceiling, brick fireplace, and built-in shelves create a space both airy and intimate. A bar and beverage nook, framed by an arched doorway, adds a layer of easy elegance for entertaining between both indoor and outdoor spaces, while the Dutch door to the backyard adds to the charm of this space. A full bathroom completes the first floor.

The flatweave stair runner leads you upstairs where you'll find four spacious bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and the laundry room. The catwalk overlooking the family room below leads to the private primary suite - a calming sanctuary with coastal breezes drifting in through the windows. This expansive room is detailed with a tray ceiling accented by a stunning chandelier. The spa-like bathroom features penny tile floors, double vanity, private commode, a soaking tub with hand-dipped fixtures, and access to one of two walk-in closets.

The three additional bedrooms on the second floor offer calm and comfort, each with their unique attributes- custom built-ins, window seats, stylish wallpaper, and gorgeous views. The finished third floor adds even more flexibility, with 5th en-suite bedroom and bonus room with vaulted ceilings - ideal for visiting guests or in-laws, as a home gym, a media room, or for creative pursuits.

In the backyard, your quiet oasis awaits. The fully fenced-in yard, bordered by graceful birch trees and hydrangeas, offers space to relax, play, or dine al fresco. This home is indoor-outdoor living at its finest - morning coffee on the porch, dinner under the stars, and the sound of waves just outside your window. Cherry, magnolia, and evergreen trees line the driveway, while lambs ear, boxwood, peonies, and other blooms can be found in the front yard, with a David Austen rose trellis climbing the side porch. A two car attached garage completes this home, where 20 foot ceilings, plenty of storage, and the potential for a lift add a desirable element for any car enthusiast.

Perfectly positioned for the coastal lifestyle of your dreams, this home is just a short stroll to the beach where you can enjoy hot summer days, bonfires with friends, annual 4th of July fireworks, road races, or a daily swim. Enjoy living in a tight-knit neighborhood where neighbors can be found walking the block, community libraries are a plenty, and where pride of ownership is evident, plus, the ultimate perk - a five minute walk to Penfield Beach, schools, and parks!

Minutes to schools, the train station, highways, and Fairfield’s vibrant downtown restaurants and shops, 309 Birch Road is a place where every day feels like a getaway. A rare blend of craftsmanship, comfort, and coastal charm - 309 Birch Road is the one you’ve been waiting for.
