840 Sturges Highway 1, Fairfield, CT 06824

Borderline Beauty. In lower Greenfield Hill, on a tree-lined border road between Westport and Fairfield, lies a lovely mid-century colonial home. Let’s start in what’s really the heart of this home: The kitchen. It’s where most families actually live. Here, you’ll eat and chat and dance and have chance encounters during midnight snack runs. Vibrant red birch custom cabinetry and deep, terracotta farmhouse tile lend an air of comfort and warmth. Of course, the family room centered by a floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace is a nice place to gather as well. And it’s just a sliding door away from the screened porch and a view of the surrounding flora. The living room, with its quaint crown molding, and second fireplace is awash with afternoon light. Upstairs, four generous bedrooms and an en-suite master to keep everyone snug as bugs. The additional 1300sf in the walk-out lower level can be a rec room, home gym, or even, an entrepreneurial base of operations. Close to everything that matters, from schools to highways, the beach, and both towns.
