There's a certain kind of iconic home that settles over you the moment you step inside, because the craftsmanship was never meant to be temporary. Nine-foot ceilings in the living and dining rooms, 3 wood-burning fireplaces, solid proportions and large windows and glass doors that still frame the light the way they were designed to nearly a century ago. The kind of quiet authority that newer construction spends a fortune trying to approximate. The current owners understood the assignment. They preserved what mattered and refined the rest without ever losing the house's original voice. The original 1929 paneled den with a hidden wet bar. A family room built for actual gathering, complete with Sub-Zero, beverage fridge and kegerator. The gourmet kitchen opens directly onto an oversized patio so the line between inside and outside nearly disappears. 5/6 beds, 5.5 stunning baths, two staircases, a first-floor office, and a walk-out lower level with its own entrance and full bath give the house a flexibility that feels intentional. Outside, 1+ acres sit quietly behind stone walls - already equipped with a grilling station, a built-in fire pit, irrigation, and the soft structure of mature plantings, privacy and play space. You can walk to Fairfield's vibrant downtown, the Metro-North station to NYC, and schools. You border lovely Winton Park. Natural gas, city water, town sewer. Some homes you tour. This one stays with you. A spectacular house with a soul. Walking distance to the Metro-North station to NYC and New Haven (.9 mile), Riverfield elementary school (.8 mile), Roger Ludlowe middle school (.5 mile), Ludlowe High school (.6 mile), downtown Fairfield (1 mile).
