About This Home

As of April 2019

This rustic 4-bedroom historic home is just steps from the beach and scenic Penfield Reef, known for being one of the best locations in Fairfield for fishing, hunting and boating. Just a mile up the road are great restaurants, boutique shopping and the downtown train station. Included in this listing is the adjacent .10 acre parcel known as 46 Lighthouse Point. The two properties together total .18 acre providing for ample parking, a sizable yard, and plenty of potential. How about fixing it up and making it your own? Or turning it into a lucrative seasonal or year-round rental property? Or building a brand new 3,000+ square foot dream home with views of Long Island Sound? There is even the potential to build TWO homes on this property (Zoning Board of Appeals approval is required). If you have a vision, then don't miss 38/46 Lighthouse Point.
