Description
425 Brookside Dr. Fairfield, CT is:
1) a quintessential New England home...
2) with a breathtaking water view of Mill River.
3) It is a truly charming “Antique Home”...
4) that has maintained both the exterior and interior permanent architectural features and character of the bygone Arts & Crafts era in which it was built
5) It also offers a large number of permanent features around the property that harken back to that bygone era including:
• a history reaching back into the 19th century. While Town records indicate that 425 Brookside Drive became a single-family home early in the 20th century, earlier records strongly suggest that its stone and mortar core structure functioned as either a building for storing the apples gathered from the orchard that thrived on the other side of Mill River along Brookside Drive in the 1800s. -- Or in fact was the mill that crushed the apples into cider.
• 425 Brookside was one of the earliest homes built along Mill River on Brookside Drive. It is a vintage Craftsman Bungalow erected in the 1920s. It is situated at the foot of Greenfield Hill right on Mill River, along a stretch of nearly 100 yards of river bank. It has a number of upper floor views as well as a deck that look out over the river.
• The property features nearly a dozen long, old stone walls, plus…
• numerous natural stone step walkways…
• 14 large antique lanterns that light up and shimmer in the water along a 90 yard stretch of Mill River at night…
• a waterfall with a cascading 10 foot drop into a tributary that flows under a stone driveway bridge into Mill River…
• 50 yards of elegant gravel driveway…
• a large Craftsman front porch with arts & crafts rafter-tails and dramatic white columns that sit atop massive stone pillars…
• a traditional New England, red and white barn-like, two-car garage with a second floor for storage, plus a third garage bay nestled within the part of the cellar of my home that faces Mill River…
• a fireplace room and a laundry room as well as 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a formal dining room, a foyer and an eat-in kitchen…
• and innumerable, true-to Arts & Crafts era, permanent, value-adding, solid oak “built-ins” throughout the house including cabinetry, columns, beams, bookcases, leather-cushioned benches, hide-away closets, walk-in closets,10 wine cubbies, wainscoting and even a baronial front door reminiscent of a fairy tale. Plus permanently affixed, value-adding, arts & crafts era features including leaded glass pocket doors, stained glass windows, antique chandeliers and sconces, vintage wallpapers, stucco ceilings, art nouveau dado wall paneling and mirrors, marble counter tops and floors, oak hardwood floors, Persian stair runners, in-wall air conditioners and walk-in closets.
In 2021, both appraisers and realtors assigned an $800,000 to $850,000 Fair Market Value.

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageBoth of my boys attend OHS and it’s an amazing school! Wonderful teachers and staff and Mr. Hudspeth is wonderful! He is clearly dedicated to staff and students and leads by example each day. On numerous occasions he has gone out of his way to help our family, as well as many others I know. OHS is the best of the best and we are fortunate to to live around the corner. It’s the main reason we chose our home so that we could walk each dayParent Review5y ago - Fairfield Ludlowe High School

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThey never taught me on how to find a college for students who have autism or a disability. 3. They never taught me on how every college has different academics, Services, sports, clubs, and activities. The auditorium is way too small. You can’t fit everyone in there. Parking was just hell. There wasn’t enough spots for all students and as well they just let people who live close enough to walk drive to school and then people who don’t live close enough to walk won’t get a spot. There’s no baseball field on campus. More facilities on campus will decrease global warming as they don’t have to hire bus transportation and staying on campus burns less fossil fuels. Football season and all other fall sports start too early in the summer time and because of that sometimes people aren’t able to play since they’ll be away. No breakfast is sold at period 2 at all. Sometimes people don’t eat breakfast at all since high school starts at 7:30 pm. Don’t have enough food selections at lunchtime. Senior lounge has doesn’t have enough seats for people to sit next to friends and because of that a lot of the times I sat isolated on the benches in the senior lounge. It doesn’t feel like a new school year, it’s hard to separate others if they’re being too nonsense, not getting along with one another, causing too much trouble, and sometimes one homeroom can become more crowded than another if one student transfers to a different school or if one student transfers to FLHS because you’re locked in the same homeroom all four years of high school.Other Review5y ago
