Life's A Private Beach! This gorgeous waterfront home is filled with uplifting natural light & amazing water views from almost every window! Most of all, your family & friends will experience the joy of your awe inspiring private patio backyard! Soak up the sun, see the stars, the supermoons, the purple & orange rippled sun setting skies, the sparkling waters, the horses cantering the flats, and the Port Jefferson ferry boats crossing to the East. Enjoy bonfires, kayak, beachcomb, swim, or lounge. Location! Situated at the highest elevation, further protected by Penfield Reef and an additional large stone jetty; 919 is virtually storm proof. This exquisite Eastern Shingle Style home built in 1926 sits on a 1/4 acre lot (all on the beachside of the road) in a prime, private location at the top of Fairfield Beach Rd! Nestled behind perennial gardens & a large 2.5 car garage, the 2,940 square ft, 5 bedroom, 2.5 bath home sits on a 30' wide x 44' deep foundation with a spacious open interior living dining area. The ceilings are all accented by 10" pickled beams. Outside you have the perfect 1000 sq ft patio situation. Beyond the patio, you have 56 ft. of beachfront to bury your feet in the sand & enjoy bonfires and breeze. The interior and mechanicals were completely modernized beginning 2016. It has an exquisite modern classic vibe in keeping with its authentic 1920s style. The home is a 4 minute bike ride to everything in Fairfield !
This 1926 home hasn't had any storm damage ( Sandy and 1938 Hurricane ) because it is protected by Penfield Reef and a stone nearby breakwater and the fact that it sits higher up than homes further down Fairfield Beach Road. The driveway accommodates 5 additional parking spots.
