Set on a private half-acre with no rear neighbors, this cheerful ranch offers rare long-term privacy, backing to North Stratfield Elementary and ensuring no future rear development. Located in Fairfield's sought-after Lake Mohegan neighborhood, the home is just minutes from over 170 acres of trails, recreation, and a summer beach. The main level features 1,116 sq ft of bright, one-level living, complemented by a 456 sq ft finished lower level with its own heating zone and thermostat, ideal for a home office, gym, playroom, or guest space. Large picture windows (less than 10 years old) fill the living and dining areas with natural light. The updated kitchen offers granite countertops, newer appliances, and an easy flow for everyday living and entertaining. Three bedrooms and 1.5 baths provide comfortable accommodations, with the half bath offering potential to convert to a full bath. Each bedroom includes in-wall air conditioning units installed a few years ago. The private lot offers flexibility and room for a future garage or expansion, subject to town approvals. Move-in ready, with newer boiler, hot water heater, washer/dryer, and a wood/coal stove for supplemental heat. Convenient to parks, the Merritt Parkway, and Easton's farms, orchards, and seasonal markets. Available for a quick closing for the right buyer.
