Set on one of Fairfield's most coveted streets, this is the kind of home families spend years hoping will become available. Set on 3.35 acres on prestigious Verna Hill Road, adjacent to Fairfield Country Day School, this is the kind of property that becomes the backdrop for decades of memories. Summer afternoons by the pool and spa. Holiday dinners that bring everyone together. At the center of it all is a home that balances grandeur with warmth. The gracious living and dining rooms, with their soaring ceilings, were made for entertaining, while the sunroom and family room naturally become gathering places, overlooking the pool, patio, and grounds. Tucked away, a richly paneled office with fireplace and French doors opening to a private garden provides a quiet retreat. The four bedrooms are all en-suite, with the primary offering his and her baths and dressing rooms, along with the convenience of an elevator. Connected by a breezeway, the detached three-car garage is topped by a 1,000 sqft studio apartment (5th bedroom) with a kitchen, full bath, and washer and dryer-ideal for au-pair, extended family or gym. Outside, resort-style amenities include a pool, spa, expansive terraces overlooking the flat manicured backyard. Properties like this are increasingly rare: timeless architecture, one of Fairfield's most coveted addresses, all just minutes from town, beaches, and country clubs.
