Our Take
406 Harbor Road is a circa 1874 Southport residence on a .83-acre parcel, set back from the road beyond a long drive. The five-bedroom home has four full baths and one half bath, period details, and a position at one of the highest points on Harbor Road. The property includes an antique barn, pool, pool house, attached one-car garage, and detached two-car garage. It offers an opportunity for renovation and enhancement while preserving its authenticity and charm.
Historic Profile
406 Harbor Road is a residential property in Southport’s local historic district with a nineteenth-century connection to the Wakeman barn and sheds, dated to about 1874. Today, a long drive leads to a house set back from Harbor Road on approximately 0.83 acre. A separate barn, pool house, and attached and detached garages are also part of the present property.
Research note: The Fairfield Historic District Commission associates the circa-1874 date with agricultural buildings at this address. Their relationship to the surviving house and separate barn, including any conversion or replacement, remains unresolved. A 2023 preservation review gives circa 1870, while other sources cite 1874 for the residence.

Read the full listing description
This is why so many people fall in love with Southport. Set on an extraordinary .83-acre parcel in the heart of the Village, this circa 1874 residence captures the charm, character, and lifestyle that have made Southport one of New England's most treasured coastal communities. Approached by a long drive and set well back from Harbor Road, the home enjoys a level of privacy rarely found in the Village. Hidden from the road, it offers a sense of seclusion that is increasingly difficult to find. Rich with period details and timeless architectural character, the 5 bedroom, 4 full and 1 half bath home sits at one of the highest points on Harbor Road, where cooling summer breezes are a welcome feature. The property also includes a classic antique barn, pool, pool house, attached one-car garage, and detached two-car garage, creating a setting ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. While the home presents an exceptional opportunity for renovation and enhancement, its greatest assets cannot be replicated: its setting, scale, history, and location. For the next steward, it offers the chance to reimagine a treasured Southport property while preserving its authenticity and charm. Enjoy a quintessential Southport lifestyle with easy access to the Village, train station, Pequot Yacht Club, and the soon-to-open Southport General Store and Rose Hill Kitchen. Last offered for sale in 1989, opportunities like this rarely come to market. A true Southport gem ready for its next chapter
