About This Home

As of July 2025

Home is where life happens and there is no better place than Merwins Lane. Open the decorative front gate to a four to five bedroom, three full bath, two half-bath Colonial Home set on 2.04 private acres framed by a traditional field stone rock wall. This beautiful piece of property has significant professional landscaping, room for an in ground pool and is situated in a very peaceful setting on a corner lot at the bottom of a cul-de-sac. The beauty of the Greenfield Hill neighborhood, the proximity to Greenfield Hill Center, downtown Fairfield, the local beaches and the train station, makes this location extremely desirable.

180 Merwins Lane has inestimable value with over $1M+ in improvements. The home is full of many functional features and is perfect for indoor and outdoor entertaining. The classical elegance of this home with an open floor plan concept designed to flow, with the delightful screened-in porch and expansive bluestone patio, is the perfect design for hosting cocktails and dinner parties. Your eye will immediately notice the detailed custom millwork both inside and out, along with the exterior stone work. The home was designed and built with a labor of love with a full renovation from pillar to post over a number of years. The smart design has timeless style and is the perfect fit for today's needs. I invite you to see for yourself.
