About This Home
As of June 2023This custom built Nantucket home has all the upgrades the discerning buyer is looking for in today’s market. Pivotal to this home is the location which is less than 3 minutes to Fairfield's top rated schools, beaches, trains and town center. The home is an architectural masterpiece. No expense was spared when the house was built in 2008. From the moment you step inside the craftsmanship is eye catching. Beautiful millwork includes coffered ceilings, panel molding, transom doorways and built-ins throughout. The custom kitchen with oversized island provides a wonderful gathering place. Luxurious details are felt throughout the home and seen in the five bedrooms. Everywhere you turn the outside beach air flows through the expansive windows, adding an abundance of natural light inside. Relax in the Jacuzzi after a long day or enjoy a glass of wine with friends in the backyard by the stone fire pit. It's all about lifestyle in the Fairfield beach area!
