About This Home

As of July 2021

Charm, character and history meet in this impeccable vintage home. Set on a beautiful lot, the front faces North Benson Road but the driveway and garage enter from sleepy Wakeman Road. Originally the home of Emma Wakeman, the first Fairfield librarian and daughter of one of the founding fathers, this elegant home is set far back from the road and offers total privacy yet is convenient to town, train and beaches. A gracious 220 sq ft. front porch and arbor greet you from the large front lawn. A beautiful entry hall with vintage window opens to a very large LR with corner fireplace, a formal DR with coffered ceiling and bay window and an updated granite kitchen with high end appliances. There is a professional Viking gas stove, island, box garden window and built in bench. The kitchen opens to a secluded stone patio for entertaining and there is an ample rear entry hall which has a new full bath. Upstairs there are 4 bedrooms serviced by a modern luxury hall bath. The master has a bay window. Multiple windows and 9 ft ceilings provide a feeling of elegance, space and light throughout the house. The floors and trims are fir and Brazilian hardwood with inlay, redone to radiance. The walk up attic is ideal for storage and expansion. With lush landscaping, a beautiful setting and immaculate condition, this welcoming home is a University treasure. Showings start Friday, May 7 by appt. Please see "Agent Only Remarks" for Saturday instructions.
