1912 Fairfield Character
Restoration to Perfection

This charming 1912 artfully restored character residence is impressive both inside and out. It was built as the family home of the historically significant builder and architect Eli Hume on Faithful, one of Fairfield’s finest streets. The welcoming front veranda with original door faces south bringing an abundance of light into the home. The authenticity of the restoration is superb with features such as the original fir flooring and door hardware, stained glass, and William Morris wallpaper. The main floor offers 10’ ceilings, a cozy living room with wood burning corner fireplace, a separate dining room with coffered ceilings, a den, plus a completely renovated kitchen. Entirely in keeping with the era, the kitchen offers stainless steel appliances, custom hand-painted maple cabinetry, and butcher block, Italian marble countertops, built in eating nook, pantry cupboard and period light fixtures. The sellers have used every inch of the space even including a recycle cupboard. The kitchen opens to a private west facing deck, ideal for the barbeque. The upper floor offers 3 bedrooms and bath with authentic claw tub. The Juliet balcony off the stair landing is a delightful feature as is the window seat in the sitting area upstairs. The property is zoned as a non conforming duplex, with suite potential in the basement. The owners have Zebra Design plans for the basement development. The location of the home is superb, blocks to the ocean and close to Cook Street Village. A Most welcoming home!
