A Rare Opportunity in Fairfield's Most Coveted Neighborhood. As rare as a Ferrari Pininfarina Sergio or a Patek Philippe Sky Moon Tourbillon-each valued around $3 million- 372 Rowland Rd is a once-in-lifetime offering in Fairfield's Beach Area, combining unmatched location, size and potential. This exceptional 1.2-acre parcel, which has had only 1 owner, is ideally situated between vibrant Fairfield Town Center and the quiet exclusivity of Rowland Rd's private beach-w/ Penfield Beach just steps away. A pleasurable walk connects you to the train station, town hall, library, marina, shopping, fabulous restaurants, several beaches and Roger Sherman School. Enjoy the simple pleasure of walking to school. Boasting a prime southwestern exposure, this is the largest, fully developable parcel south of the Old Post Rd. This is a setting that could support an extraordinary 7,000+sq. ft. custom home with a separate 4-car garage, pool, pool house, tennis/pickleball court or party barn/studio. A private gated entrance would crown this future estate . For comparison, homes in the Beach Area-one of Fairfield's most desirable neighborhoods have sold in the millions of dollars, typically on 1/4-acre lot with limited flexibility. This property's scale and freedom are virtually unparalleled, an ideal setting for an architectural significant family compound. This is a blank canvas for a world class lifestyle - where design, leisure and privacy converge (continued).
Currently the property includes a classic colonial style home with 8 rooms ,4 bedrooms, and 1.5 baths offering rental or renovation potential while you design, plan and build your exceptional home with limited restrictions. All information to be independently verified by purchaser. Kindly do not walk the property unaccompanied; two large dogs are on the premises.

Fairfield Beach, located between Ash Creek and Long Island Sound, is a coastal and residential Bridgeport neighborhood with sandy shoreline and low-slung beach cottages. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Fairfield Beach Road near the Penfield Beach entrance, where seasonal snack stands, casual eateries, and bike traffic set the tempo. Penfield Beach and its pavilion frame daily routines with boardwalk strolls and open-water views. Streets mix classic shingled cottages with updated capes and contemporary rebuilds, often with decks facing the water. The Fairfield Metro station corridor sits a short drive inland, linking beach calm with commuter rhythm. Marsh edges and tidal inlets give the area a salt-air, seabird soundtrack.
