Looking for a historic yet spacious home in Fairfield, Connecticut? This stunning property at 658 Hoydens Hill Road might just be the perfect fit for you. Boasting a unique combination of two homes from the 18th and 19th centuries, this five-bedroom, four-full-and-three-half-bath residence offers 5,730 square feet of living space on a generous 2.76-acre lot.
Step inside and you’ll be greeted by the charm of nine fireplaces, wide floorboards, blown-glass window panes, and beamed ceilings. The home features a large dining room, a kitchen with a spacious butler’s pantry, and plenty of living and entertaining spaces including an office, a game room, a den, a library, a family room, and a formal living room.
In addition to the main house, there is a detached three-car garage and a post-and-beam barn on the property. The sprawling layout of the home allows for flexibility in how you choose to utilize the space. The charming walk-out lower level features radiant-heat floors, a kitchenette, brick archways, a bar, a large family room, a recreation room, and a sitting area.
While this home offers a lot of character and potential, updates are needed, particularly to the heating and cooling systems. The garage is an open structure, and there is no distinguishable primary bedroom, which may be a consideration for some buyers.
