About 685 Knapps Highway
This historic Fairfield home, originally built in 1917 when the streets were still dirt roads, has been lovingly passed down through generations for over a century. Situated on a prominent corner lot (0.27 acres), it has long stood as a local landmark in this charming coastal town. A complete renovation in 1978 thoughtfully blended its timeless character with modern updates that have been enhanced over the years. Offering approximately 2,550 square feet of living space, this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence features an in-ground pool and a separate studio apartment (additional 450 square feet) in the basement with its own private entrance. While the home is being sold "as-is" and will require some updating, it presents an exceptional opportunity to move in and renovate over time. Set on a spacious lot zoned B, the property may also offer the potential to build a duplex, adding significant long-term value. With its rare combination of history, size, location, and development potential, this is a truly unique offering in Fairfield. Bring your vision and make this special property your own.
