About the Location
The house is located in the Fairfield Beach area of Connecticut. It’s an idyllic neighborhood perfectly situated between Jennings Beach and Penfield Beach - 2 of Fairfield’s 5 stunning beaches - and the vibrant Post Road. Summer here is a time for beachside fun, when the area comes alive with seasonal events, including pick-up volleyball games, movie nights, clam bakes, sand jams and the annual carnivals. And when it’s time for the 4th of July fireworks, you’ll have prime seating right on the beach. Penfield Beach, stretching over 3 acres, is a gem in the neighborhood. If the tide is right, you can even walk out to the historic Penfield Lighthouse. The nearby Penfield Pavilion is a fantastic venue for hosting parties, where you can dance under the moonlight with the waves gently lapping in the background. Beyond the beaches, Fairfield Beach offers a wealth of public spaces and activities: Veterans Park features free public tennis courts, a playground and plenty of green space for picnicking. The Fairfield Museum and History Center and the Par 3 Golf Course provide additional family-friendly attractions. Living here truly offers the best of both worlds. On one side of the yard, you’ll experience the lively social atmosphere of the Fairfield Beach community, while on the other, you’ll find privacy and serenity.
