The David Hill Home, Circa 1749. There's a certain kind of house that stops you the moment you pull up. Not because it's trying to impress you - but because the history speaks for itself. Wide plank floors worn smooth by centuries of foot traffic, five original fireplaces, hand-hewn beams - the kind of quiet character newer construction simply can't manufacture. The life inside has been carefully reimagined though. Walls opened, rooms connected, spaces rethought. The chef's kitchen features quartzite countertops and a GE Smart Monogram range. The primary suite is a genuine retreat - radiant marble floors, double vanities, steam shower. Lucifer lighting throughout sets the mood in every room. A sun-drenched bonus room shifts with the seasons - office, sunroom, art studio - whatever the day calls for. The infrastructure has been upgraded too. Full house generator, new Trane HVAC, new smart pool heater and a whole-house water shutoff mean the things you never want to think about are already handled. Outside, the acres unfold into something genuinely private - a pool and spa, pool house, and a barn that's been there longer than almost anything else around it. Lower Greenfield Hill puts you close to everything without feeling like it. Restaurants, shops, top schools, and both Fairfield and Southport train stations all nearby. Some homes you tour. This one you remember.
