RARE BEACH PROPERTY ~ Steps to Sandcastle Playground, Jennings Beach and South Benson Marina - with downtown Fairfield just a short stroll away - this architecturally striking Colonial delivers a rare blend of presence, scale and coastal serenity. Homes of this caliber seldom become available along the shoreline. ~ THE SOCIAL EPICENTER ~ Unlike many beach homes that compromise on space, this residence offers a sprawling first floor where the Great Room and Chef's Kitchen unite in a seamless open layout. The show-stopping kitchen is anchored by an oversized Carrara marble island and appointed with a professional Thermador suite, designed for intimate gatherings and grand entertaining alike. Light pours in, enhancing the home's refined yet relaxed coastal aesthetic. ~ PRIVATE RETREATS ~ Upstairs, soaring ceilings and bespoke millwork frame a sun-drenched Primary Suite with floor-to-ceiling glass and a private balcony capturing the morning sunrise and water views. Four additional bedrooms, including two en-suites, offer comfort and flexibility. The expansive sun-filled third level features custom nooks and a secluded sixth-bedroom suite with its own panoramic balcony - ideal for guests or au pair. ~ OUTDOOR OASIS ~ Lush specimen plantings and mature greenery create a fully fenced, private setting on a cul-de-sac. An expansive bluestone patio sets the stage for effortless outdoor entertaining or relaxation. A RARE OPPORTUNITY to own scale, craftsmanship and privacy at the beach.
