Description

Some locations on Fairfield Beach simply feel different the moment you arrive. This is one of them. Set along a beautiful stretch of shoreline, the property enjoys a naturally elevated position framed by protective dunes, allowing for an expansive sandy beach experience at both high and low tide. Established seagrass enhances the shoreline's natural beauty, while the manicured lawn creates a seamless transition from home to water. Equally compelling is the rare dual-waterfront setting. Beyond the beach, the property extends to South Pine Creek, where the scenery shifts to something quieter and deeply picturesque. The views are layered with charm and calm, while sunsets over the creek become magnificent and almost ethereal. Designed by renowned architect Jack Franzen of Franzen Architects and featured in Westport Magazine, the home reflects timeless neoclassical design with graceful proportions, curved lines, detailed millwork, and exceptional craftsmanship. A winding staircase and elevator lead to the main living area, where open-concept spaces are filled with natural light and sweeping views of Long Island Sound. Beautifully maintained grounds, a private in-ground spa, and a detached garage across the street complete this exceptional coastal setting. Agent/Owner Related Owner/Broker.
