The “Nichols House” is one of Fairfield’s most significant residences. Originally the site of the historic Black Horse Tavern (1772-1872), the home was built in 1893 by the NY Shipping magnate, Colonel Nichols as a summer retreat. Adjacent to the historic Greenfield Hill Green, the beautiful Queen Anne – style Victorian was lovingly renovated in 2012. The main house features large public rooms with 12+ foot ceilings and an abundance of natural light. There are 7 bedrooms on the second and third floors with renovated bathrooms. The one and a half acre property offer significant privacy with the pool in the rear surrounded by mature landscaping. There is also a one-bedroom guest house with its own kitchen and full bath over the detached 2 car, heated (charger available) garage perfect for staff, family or guests. Sited just minutes to the Post Road and the town centers of Fairfield, Westport and Southport and 1 hour to Manhattan. This home is the quintessence of New England elegance and charm.
