About This Home

As of May 2021

Love at first sight: This refreshed Stratfield colonial, in the vibrant town of Fairfield, wooed the sellers with its vintage-styled charm and finished third floor office/play/lounging areas. From top to bottom this restyled home is brimming over with must-haves like extra work, play, fitness and storage areas, as well as stylish and functional improvements (universal electric car charger included). The sun-kissed kitchen offers dining area, plenty of granite-topped counterspace and flows into the expansive, front-to-back living room featuring fireplace, living, gathering and dining areas. The master bedroom, plus two additional bedrooms and gorgeous full bath are located on the 2nd floor. The LL is perfect for storage/utility and opens to an unfinished bonus area: think fitness, hobby, ping pong, etc and a "garage" door that opens to the fenced and gated rear yard for indoor/outdoor use. No cabin fever here! Desirable Stratfield Village is filled with meandering neighborhood streets, peppered with an array of architecturally beautiful antique, vintage, and modern style homes and Four Corners (shopping, take-out, and all the day-to-day convenience stops). Known for its block parties, Halloween and holiday events and parks, this area also offers an easy reach to Fairfield's Long Island Sound beaches, Lake Mohegan, 3 train stations, public golf course, shopping, Whole Foods, Trader Joes, Starbucks, etc. NOTE: So many updates including HVAC, electrical, paint, etc.
