About This Home

As of September 2022

Walk to beach, town & train from this iconic REPRODUCTION Saltbox Colonial, lovingly maintained & thoughtfully updated by long time owners. The custom kitchen, fully open to the family room, sets the tone of quality & informality combined w/classic colonial architectural elements. Farmhouse sink & countertops of timeless Vermont Soapstone, enhance the hand milled cabinetry. Along w/the reclaimed wood-topped island, this kitchen is designed to maximize function & storage. The space flows into the family room, (originally the formal DR) w/sea shell motif corner cabinets & huge multi paned window, hallmarks of architect Cameron Clark. Step out from here onto a spacious & delightful patio framed by cherry trees & white rose bushes. Living room is anchored by stone FPL & charmed by ceiling beams. DR/office/playroom has a wall of shelves & doors for privacy. Pantry nook leads to laundry/half bath & basement - perfect for a home gym, w/plenty of ceiling height. Upstairs space includes 3 truly generously scaled bedrooms, 2 are en-suite, with 1 of the bathrooms also offering hallway access. Unexpectedly there are closets galore! Pull down staircase to fully floored attic offers even more storage. 2 car detached garage w/loft, built in 2008, completes this in-town oasis. EASY LIVING with miles of sidewalks leading to the best that Fairfield has to offer: places of natural beauty, historic town green & the vibrant town center w/restaurants, theatres and train. NON FLOOD PLAIN setting!
