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.

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listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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.
