Some favorite things that will be missed by the sellers include the array of wildlife & birds year-round, sledding down the front lawn, movie & game nights in the basement, all the great dinner parties and sleepovers hosted, stargazing from the upstairs balcony and neighborhood kids playing ‘kick the can’ and hide & seek in the backyard.

Home is only a five-minute walk from top-rated Burr Elementary School, 7-minute drive to restaurants, shopping and the Fairfield train station and a 55-minute drive to New York City. Enjoy the wonder of living in the country, with Fairfield’s beaches less than 6 miles away. Yes, you can have it all!
