FAIRFIELD — Built in 1834, the home at 2347 Bronson Road blends original details, timely updates and a few key antique additions.
Together, it creates a comfortable family living space, said listing agent Darlene Letersky, of Coldwell Banker Realty.
“The beauty of this home is that it has been beautifully maintained and restored over its many years,” Letersky said.
The latest addition of a new family room and new main bedroom designed by architect Frank Gravino was done by John Desmond, a premiere builder in Southport. The front porch has also been restored.
The level property encompasses three professionally landscaped acres in lower Greenfield Hill. A stone wall graces the front yard and the grounds include sweeping open spaces.
Inside, high ceilings and ample windows bring in outdoor light, with the formal living and dining rooms offering working fireplaces for added warmth.
A fully outfitted butler’s pantry connects the dining room with the large kitchen with its unusual flower-arranging room. The chef’s kitchen opens to the family room with an oversized stone fireplace.
