Located on one of the most prominent roads in the center of the Fairfield's historic district this thoroughly re-styled vintage home beckons us from the white picket fence and expansive front porch, to the landscaped pool, fire pit and alfresco dining areas. A casually sophisticated fusion of indoor and outdoor; privacy and walkability; old and new, makes this iconic colonial hard to forget. Morning light brightens the striking white kitchen with its quartz topped island and brick floor to ceiling gas fireplace. The great room invites gatherings large and small with its spaciousness, coffered ceilings and lounge area. Curl up with a book or work from home in the glass-wrapped sunroom. Entertaining is encouraged by its easy floorplan and formal living and dining areas. A beautifully designed master suite includes marble bath, a wall of fitted closets and sitting | dressing area (another great spot for an office). A private guest bedroom includes a gorgeous full bath. Two additional bedrooms, full bath and laundry complete this floor. The current owners left no stone unturned including NEW: roof, mechanicals, interior and exterior paint, landscaping, fireplace, porch decking, roof deck, a new look for kitchen and baths and more. A one-of-a-kind home on the distinguished Old Post Road within walking distance to train, beach, town, dining, Sportsplex, YMCA, schools, walking trails and a bike ride from Southports' village, harbor, Equinox, beach, yacht and golf clubs.
