Rare opportunity in Fairfield's highly sought-after Beach Area! This 3-bedroom, 1,400 SF ranch offers an exceptionally rare combination of location, lot, and future potential. Just a short walk to South Pine Creek Beach and only a quarter mile from the prestigious Sasco Hill neighborhood, you'll also enjoy easy access to downtown Fairfield, the train station, restaurants, shops, and beaches. According to MLS history, 3-bedroom ranches with attached 2-car garages in both the Beach Area and Fairfield Center have been virtually nonexistent over the past decade, and this home's generous footprint makes it an ideal candidate for a second-story addition, with architectural plans included showing approximately 3,700 SF upon completion, along with a remodeled first floor. (see all photos for exterior front and back ) Based on recent neighborhood sales, expanded homes have exceeded $2 million. Partially finished lower level, private fenced yard, and no reported storm-related issues during recent major coastal storms. Renovate, expand, or enjoy as is. An outstanding value-add opportunity in one of Fairfield's most desirable neighborhoods. It's time for your new beach area home!
