Read the full listing description
Samp Mortar Lake is one of the most picturesque spots in Fairfield. As locals it's an area we appreciate passing through. At sunset it's hard not to pull over and snap a photo or sigh with joy when you see little swimmers splashing about off the beaches. Those lucky enough to own a property with deeded rights in the Lake Hills Association tend to stay for a lifetime, so you can imagine there isn't a lot of turn over making this a wonderful opportunity for the next generation. 845 Mountain Laurel has been lovingly cared for by the same family since the beginning. It is a classic Colonial that draws you in with its charm and warmth. The traditional layout includes both formal and casual rooms on the first floor. Upstairs there is a primary bedroom suite and three additional good size bedrooms that share a full hall bath. There are hardwood floors throughout most of the home. The attached garage has extra ceiling height for larger vehicles. The lot is flat, dry, fully fenced and has mature landscaping. The interior has just been freshly painted and professionally cleaned. There are many quality updates throughout. You're invited to make it your own. The lake offers swimming, boating and fishing and there are trails all around for hiking and biking. Black Rock Turnpike is minutes away and super convenient for everything - groceries, coffee, bagels, restaurants and shops. Commuting in any direction is a breeze. This checks all the boxes plus some you didn't even know you needed.
