          <link>http://afahomes.com/listing.php?506-Sasco-Hill-Road-765</link> 
          <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;iframe src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/embed/HkJY-dqWCa0&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;360&quot; width=&quot;640&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Located on a private section of prestigious Sasco Hill Road is a 5,700 square foot Stone and Shingle style custom home that provides casually elegant, carefree, waterside living.  A visionary collaboration between the home owners, and their chosen team of, SF Hemingway quality builders and interior designer, Catherine Cleary, has resulted in a home that celebrates its spectacular setting with traditional dignity and a modern flair that is perfect for today’s lifestyles.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It began with the discovery of this picturesque setting that offered a rare combination of dramatic views of Long Island Sound, the rolling greens of The Country Club of Fairfield and the enchanting Southport Harbor.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Behind the Allure lies an extensive network of site preparation, quality construction details and state of the art mechanical systems that ensure the home retains its splendor and provides carefree waterside living.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The homeowner’s vision was to maximize the settings lifestyle potential by designing both exterior and interior living spaces that merge together, “Once you walk into the home from the entry foyer, you would see that the first floor is a contiguous open floor plan with fabulous views from every room. The study/library and dining room expose the golf course and the Sound, while the family room and kitchen have panoramic views of both the Sound and harbor.” &lt;i&gt;-Andrew Nuzzi, Architect.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The lofty scale of the ceilings, open flow of rooms, dramatic use of abundant windows and soft seaside colors complement the panorama of waterfront life.  Hand-painted walls in the entry are the color of moonlight on the sea.  A demi-lune palladium window above the entry sheds texture and natural light on the sweeping staircase and the second floor landing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;An open floor plan with well-defined spaces, allows easy entertaining flow through every room.  The dining room boasts a wall of French doors topped with transoms that open to an outdoor open terrace.  The adjoining Family room also has abundant use of windows as well as a large fireplace with an Ocean Blue polished travertine surround and hearth.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The open Gourmet Kitchen is the heart of the first floor, and welcomes guests to sit along its 13 foot, two tiered, Teak and Costa Esmerald granite island.  A chef’s delight, the stainless steel appliances include Dacor Range with 6 burners, Dacor Wall Oven and Warming Drawer and 2 Beverage Drawers. The separate Sub Zero Refrigerator and Freezer are found behind beautiful antiqued mirrored lattice doors.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This area opens to the covered loggia with blue stone floor and huge stone fireplace that is the open-air family room.  Three seasons plus are enjoyed from this room that overlooks the rolling lawn and is steps away from the large blue stone terrace that wraps around the back of the house and kitchen.  Equipped with a large built-in grill, this space makes outdoor cooking fun.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A well placed butler’s pantry and a large mudroom with access to the back terrace and oversized garage complete the first level.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The attention to detail and quality craftsmanship continues throughout the second floor.  Four elegantly appointed bedroom suites, and a large laundry room are separated by wide bright hallways.  The main hall has a wall of glass doors that flood the space with natural light and open to a large balcony connecting two en-suite bedrooms.  At the end of the hallway, adjacent to the master bedroom is a spacious covered octagonal shaped outdoor room with panoramic vistas of the sound and harbor.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The first bedroom suite has a contemporized Palladian window that offers spectacular views of the course and sound.  Another suite boasts hand painted ocean blue striped walls, an alcove with custom built-in dressers and its own large private deck.  The third suite has abundant windows and views, and is adjacent to the two upper level balconies from which to watch the sun rise and set.  All bedroom suites have elegantly appointed full baths with hand selected marbles and tiles and spacious custom fitted closets.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Master bedroom is a serene oasis.  The walls are covered in a comforting, casually elegant, raffia basket weave.  Ingeniously designed, the bed wall is wrapped in floor to ceiling windows incorporating a large crescent window above that blends softly into the tray ceiling.  The adjacent wall has a matching window design that is flanked by a custom interpretation of elegant shuttered portholes.  All windows overlook the sleepy harbor of historic Southport Village.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The generously proportioned master bath has full steam shower, large soaking jet tub area and custom double vanities, all topped in Azul Domar - a rare soft sea blue marble that can only be purchased in limited quantities.  A spacious well designed paneled dressing room finishes the suite.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The expansive finished lower has a full exercise room, family playroom, full bathroom and several finished areas ready to be used as an additional bedroom, guest or au pair suite, office, wine storage, seasonal closets, or many other uses.  The remainder of the lower level offers abundant storage and houses the state of the art mechanicals.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This Coastal shingle and stone style home received the 2011 HOBI Award for Best Custom Home. The HOBI Award is the state’s most prestigious housing industry accolade, recognizing excellence in new construction, land development and other industry aspects. This spectacular home has been featured in several luxury home magazines and was chosen to be one of the five show homes for The Near &amp;amp; Far Aid Designers House tour, a celebrated benefit tour of distinctive homes in Southport, Westport and Fairfield.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Inspired by the alluring and uncommon views, designed with a fresh take on tradition, this distinct home is elegant yet comfortable with a casual coastal design sensibility consistent throughout the property. Every indoor and outdoor space was built to maximize the simple pleasure of enjoying the outdoor inspiration of privacy and solitude. Why travel to Nantucket or the Hamptons, when you can come home to this private oasis daily?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

          <title>3245 Congress Street, Fairfield, Connecticut | Greenfield Hill Estate - $5,200,000</title> 
          
          
		
          
          
          <link>http://afahomes.com/listing.php?3245-Congress-Street-491</link> 
          <description>&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Sea View Farm&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Step back in time as you meander through this elegant country estate with its lovely home and exquisite gardens, situated on 18 peaceful and private acres in Greenfield Hill. The home was built in 1920 by renowned architect, Cameron Clark, for Henry B. Stoddard, a wealthy Harvard law graduate living in Bridgeport, CT. Stoddard also commissioned Clark’s wife, Agnes, a well-known landscape architect, to design the gardens.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All of the rooms on the first floor were designed to look out to one of the five gardens, allowing the natural beauty and views to pull you back out, no matter what the season. The property is breathtaking with its collection of specimen trees, evergreens and perennials defining the gardens and the long stretch of land in front of the barn. Beautiful Italianate statuary and fountains add to the serenity and hushed feeling, evoking a time gone by. Agnes’ original stone gazebo stands just outside the entrance to the Pool House and Gardens and her 12’+ curved, stone bench still graces the Shade Garden. Two custom made wrought-iron gates bring you into the English Garden.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Cameron Clark liked to build big homes, but with intimate spaces. This home has plenty of room for large scale entertaining as well as cozy living areas throughout for more personal gatherings.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The 9000+sf main house offers all of the amenities of a gracious lifestyle, including a billiards room and media room, library, office, exercise/sun room, screened porch, large open kitchen/breakfast/family room, formal dining and living room, craft room or nursery, five bedrooms en suite, elevator and an attached two-car garage. There are hardwood floors throughout, beautiful St. Regis moldings, French doors, a secure gated entrance with video and audio identification, full irrigation system in gardens, built-in stereo system in home, outdoor patio and pool area, outdoor lighting, radiant heat under all bathrooms as well as Family Room, Office and 2nd entry Mudroom.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The home is filled with exquisite detail and custom millwork throughout. Some of the highlights include a French, turn-of-the-century, gold/bronze doré motorized chandelier in the Grand Foyer, two chandeliers in the Dining Room with amber and crystal detail, four sets of French doors with custom-made mahogany screens and an Old-English Coalhod gas burner in a magnificent cast limestone fireplace in the Family Room. Built-in mahogany china cabinets can be found in the Butler’s Pantry, an antique Rosewood dresser in the second entry Powder Room and beautiful Lichen-covered brick on the back Terrace. There is an incredible view of the property from the adjacent Exercise/Sun Room in the Master Bedroom.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The property also includes a 1400+sf guest cottage with Living and Family Room, Kitchen, two Bedrooms and one Bath, attached Greenhouse and a three-car Garage with hydraulic lift. A 700+ sf Guest/Pool House/Spa is a wonderful place to entertain guests as well with two large Bathrooms that include a steam shower and separate sauna, full Kitchen and Breakfast/Living area. To the right of the home and pool area sits an antique Barn with 8.2 acres stretched behind it that would be perfect for horses.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Some fun tidbits - During the turn of the Century this property was a farm, Sea View Farm, supplying fruits and vegetables for years to the general store on the corner of Bronson Road and Old Academy. A full property and house history has been done for this estate and is available to interested parties.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;These gardens were featured in The Discovery in the Garden tour, last June 2011. The house and gardens were featured in Fairfield Magazine in the March/April 2012 issue.&lt;/p&gt;

          <title>105 Meeting House Lane, Fairfield, CT | Prestigious Georgian Estate - $4,250,000</title> 
          
          
		
          
          
          <link>http://afahomes.com/listing.php?105-Meeting-House-Lane-864</link> 
          <description>&lt;p&gt;Sitting in the heart of historic Greenfield Hill, sits the most spectacular Georgian colonial Fairfield County has to offer.  Steeped in history yet renovated to perfection, this house offers the best of both worlds.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This gorgeous home has recently undergone a complete and thorough renovation by Paul Tallman Builders and Baker Batchelder Architects resulting in generously proportioned rooms and stunning additions that are both modern and harmonious with its historic importance.  All of the floors, systems, windows and walls have been replaced…no expense was spared to bring the house to the highest standard expected by today’s discriminating buyer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The main house features 5 gracious bedrooms, all en suite, high ceilings, and an addition on the east wing with vaulted ceiling and slate roof opening onto the rear terrace, which has an outdoor fireplace and numerous sitting areas all overlooking the new pool and spa. The 2 and one half acre level property is beautifully landscaped with specimen trees and an expansive lawn.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There is also a wonderful circa 1900 Barn that was recently completely rebuilt and restored by noted Southport architect, Mark Finlay. It houses an 8-car collector's garage, a separate apartment with kitchen, bedroom, living room, laundry room and full bath. Above it all is a 1,500 square foot loft suitable for parties or a home office.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Originally built in 1750,the house has served as an intellectual, literary and political forum for its owners over the years. Most notable among its former owners was Abraham Baldwin who was a American founding father and contributing writer of the U.S Constitution. In addition to being a Senator and Congressman from the State of Georgia, Baldwin was the founder and first President of the University of Georgia. Baldwin originally came to CT to attend Yale University. In fact, the Yale mascot, the Bulldog, was adopted in tribute to his Georgian roots. Among his many frequent houseguests was Tallyrand, who was the Prime Minister of France, and considered to be one of the most influential diplomats in European history while serving as Napoleon's chief aide.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
