278 Sherwood Drive Fairfield, CT 06890

Set back at the end of a long driveway on a beautifully landscaped plot surrounded by tall trees, a wide lawn, and a peaceful lake, this 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath family home combines all the serenity of country living with the perks of living less than two miles from the center of Southport. Hardwood floors run throughout the immense, open first level, which takes in a massive family room and an attached den with stone flooring. A pair of classic fireplaces bookend the expansive living and dining area, which sits adjacent to a kitchen with elegant white cabinetry—including custom inlays to help disguise the oversized fridge and freezer drawer—wraparound countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a beautiful splash of exposed brick separating the sun-drenched breakfast room. On the other side of the home, you'll find a guest bedroom and a master bedroom and private master bath that practically occupies its own wing, as well as a home office and a guest bath further down the hall. Three more guest bedrooms occupy the second level, as well as a guest bath, a washer-dryer unit, and an 80-square-foot storage space off one of the bedrooms. Outside, meanwhile, you'll find plenty of space for relaxation, including a large patio area that runs along the den perfect for grilling, a playground area, and plenty of additional storage in the two-car garage and attached mudroom.
