1681 Fairfield Beach Road, Fairfield (Beach), CT, 06824 | $5,950,000

Some locations on Fairfield Beach simply feel different the moment you arrive. This is one of them. Set along a beautiful stretch of shoreline, the property enjoys a naturally elevated position framed by protective dunes, allowing for an expansive sandy beach experience at both high and low tide. Established seagrass enhances the shoreline's natural beauty, while the manicured lawn creates a seamless transition from home to water. Equally compelling is the rare dual-waterfront setting. Beyond the beach, the property extends to South Pine Creek, where the scenery shifts to something quieter and deeply picturesque. The views are layered with charm and calm, while sunsets over the creek become magnificent and almost ethereal. Designed by renowned architect Jack Franzen of Franzen Architects and featured in Westport Magazine, the home reflects timeless neoclassical design with graceful proportions, curved lines, detailed millwork, and exceptional craftsmanship. A winding staircase and elevator lead to the main living area, where open-concept spaces are filled with natural light and sweeping views of Long Island Sound. Beautifully maintained grounds, a private in-ground spa, and a detached garage across the street complete this exceptional coastal setting. Agent/Owner Related Owner/Broker.

Originally known as "The Seashell, " this Fairfield Beach home carries a rich sense of history and character that still feels present today. Built as a new coastal residence on the site of the beloved original cottage, it preserves the warmth and charm of its predecessor while delivering sophisticated, timeless design. The result is an elegant home-architecturally significant without feeling overstated. Designed by renowned architect Jack Franzen of Franzen Architects and featured in Westport Magazine, the home showcases timeless neoclassical influences through graceful contours, detailed millwork, balanced proportions, and thoughtfully framed views. Every space is intentional, designed around light, water, and the experience of shorefront living. The first level centers on a beautifully positioned primary suite where water views become the focal point from the moment you wake. The suite features two separate bathrooms, each paired with its own walk-in closet, creating symmetry and privacy. Also on this level is an additional bedroom with a full bathroom (tub and shower), plus a generously sized mudroom with washer/dryer and an adjacent maintenance room. A winding staircase and elevator lead to the main living level, where expansive windows and open gathering spaces create a dramatic, sunlit atmosphere. The kitchen, dining, and living areas flow seamlessly, framed by panoramic views of Long Island Sound. A standout feature is the home's two distinct waterfront experiences: sweeping beach and water views on one side, and peaceful, picturesque views of South Pine Creek on the other. The second floor includes a study with French doors overlooking the creek, offering a tranquil workspace. There's also an additional bedroom suite with creek views and a full bath with stand-up shower, plus a half bath and elevator access. Beautifully maintained grounds, an in-ground spa, and a detached garage across the street complete this rare coastal property where architecture, landscape, and water blend in timeless harmony.
