Rarely does a property offer frontage on both Long Island Sound and South Pine Creek. Positioned along a naturally elevated stretch of Fairfield Beach framed by protective dunes, the property enjoys a broad sandy beach at both high and low tide. Located within a residential section of Fairfield Beach away from many public beach access points, the setting offers a unique combination of beach, creek, and open water frontage. Across the street, the South Pine Creek frontage offers water views, sunsets, a detached two-car garage, and remnants of a former dock, offering potential boating opportunities subject to due diligence and approvals. Designed by renowned architect Jack Franzen and featured in Westport Magazine, the home reflects timeless neoclassical design. The thoughtful floor plan places the primary suite on the first floor, while the main living level is elevated above to maximize light and views. A sweeping staircase and interior elevator lead to open-concept living spaces overlooking Long Island Sound. An in-ground spa completes this exceptional waterfront offering.

While the home itself is exceptional, it is the experience of this location that is truly difficult to replicate. The peaceful beach here feels expansive and ever-changing throughout the day. At high tide, the large sandy beach is a wonderful place to relax, gather with family and friends, and enjoy the waterfront. At low tide, broad sandbars emerge, creating additional shoreline to explore, walk, gather, and enjoy. The combination of elevation, dunes, and natural shoreline features contributes to a beach experience that remains enjoyable throughout the tidal cycle. The surrounding setting offers a distinctly relaxed coastal atmosphere. Located within a quieter residential section of Fairfield Beach, the area is defined by its natural beauty, open sky, and connection to the water. Whether enjoying a morning walk, an afternoon on the sand, or an evening watching the colors change across the horizon, the setting encourages a slower pace and a greater sense of privacy, making it easy to unwind and enjoy the shoreline throughout the year. The property's frontage on South Pine Creek adds an entirely different dimension to waterfront living. Here, the scenery shifts from beach to creek, offering a peaceful backdrop of water, wildlife, changing light, and remarkable sunsets. The contrast between the two waterfront environments is part of what makes the property so unique. Originally known as "The Seashell," the property occupies the site of a beloved Fairfield Beach cottage. The current residence honors that history while embracing a timeless architectural vision. Thoughtfully designed around natural light, water views, and the surrounding landscape, the home reflects a level of planning and craftsmanship that is increasingly rare.
