Charm, character and history meet in this impeccable vintage home. Set on a beautiful lot, the front faces North Benson Road but the driveway and garage enter from sleepy Wakeman Road. Originally the home of Emma Wakeman, the first Fairfield librarian and daughter of one of the founding fathers, this elegant home is set far back from the road and offers total privacy yet is convenient to town, train and beaches. A gracious 220 sq ft. front porch and arbor greet you from the large front lawn. A beautiful entry hall with vintage window opens to a very large LR with corner fireplace, a formal DR with coffered ceiling and bay window and an updated granite kitchen with high end appliances. There is a professional Viking gas stove, island, box garden window and built in bench. The kitchen opens to a secluded stone patio for entertaining and there is an ample rear entry hall which has a new full bath. Upstairs there are 4 bedrooms serviced by a modern luxury hall bath. The master has a bay window. Multiple windows and 9 ft ceilings provide a feeling of elegance, space and light throughout the house. The floors and trims are fir and Brazilian hardwood with inlay, redone to radiance. The walk up attic is ideal for storage and expansion. With lush landscaping, a beautiful setting and immaculate condition, this welcoming home is a University treasure. Showings start Friday, May 7 by appt. Please see "Agent Only Remarks" for Saturday instructions.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
