Read the full listing description
Tucked on a quiet cul-de-sac in Fairfield's sought-after University neighborhood, just two miles to the train and downtown. This classic New England Colonial was fully renovated and expanded in 2005 - Nantucket-style cedar shingles, copper half-round gutters, and a mahogany front porch that gives this home curb appeal that is simply off the charts. In 2021 the home was expanded again to add a showpiece kitchen and a brand new outdoor patio perfect for entertaining. The kitchen delivers: custom cabinetry, ultra-luxury Pietra Cardosa stone countertops, glass subway tile backsplash, 36" Thermador range with professional hood, Bosch French door refrigerator, Thermador dishwasher, and an oversized butcher block island with seating for three. Hardwood floors and crown moldings run throughout, anchoring a front-to-back living room with wood-burning fireplace and a dining room with genuine elbow room. Upstairs: three bedrooms including a primary suite with walk-in closet and full bath with shower and Jacuzzi tub; the secondary bedrooms are spacious and feature custom built-ins. The partially finished lower level offers two separate spaces - ideal for a home office and hangout or playroom. The full walk-up attic is a blank canvas with real potential to add a fourth bedroom, bonus room, or whatever the next owner envisions. Other updates include: new central air, newer hot water heater, natural gas ready, oversized one-car garage, and a backyard that has to be seen to be appreciated.
