About this home
Vacation living, every day of the year. This move-in ready 4-bedroom home sits on a quiet street in Fairfield's coveted beach area, right on a tidal creek with its own private dock. 73 Old Dam offers the best of both worlds: the magic of waterside living, with Fairfield Beach standing as a natural barrier against the open Sound. Water views throughout, and the upper-level primary suite faces the creek and opens onto a private deck. Sun-filled rooms flow easily for entertaining, and a detached garage adds storage and flexibility. The perfect setting to entertain guests and family inside and out with elevated decks, a larger than expected yard, and a waterside deck to enjoy the sunset. Directly across the creek is a private association dock at 1702 Fairfield Beach Rd and gated path to access with beach access at 1701 Fairfield Beach Rd. Explore the neighborhood's open space and walking trails, including paths leading to Pine Creek beach. Walk to amenities including beaches, par-3 golf course, and tennis facilities, providing a perfect blend of outdoor recreation and relaxation in a beautiful coastal setting. Minutes to vibrant Fairfield town center as well as scenic Southport village & harbor. Waterfront community 50 miles from NYC offering coastal charm, historic preservation, wonderful dining, shopping & arts.
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.
