Welcome to Fernbrook Cottage, a tranquil retreat in the heart of Greenfield Hill. Nestled on 1.2 lush acres, this charming New England Cape provides a serene lifestyle for those seeking a peaceful haven surrounded by nature. Inside, a welcoming living room with an oversized wood-burning fireplace is perfect for cozy evenings. An intimate den offers a warm gathering space with gas fireplace. The eat-in kitchen, with vaulted ceilings, a skylight, and a bay window overlooking bird feeders, is flooded with light and connects to the terrace, garage, and accessory apartment. The main-floor primary bedroom serves as a private retreat with terrace access for peaceful mornings. A full bath with shower stall is located nearby. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms and a full bath complete the space. The accessory apartment above the garage offers flexibility for guests, extended family, or rental potential. Lovingly maintained, the grounds are a gardener's paradise with a curated selection of perennials, attracting birds and pollinators alike. A wooded area behind the home enhances privacy and serves as nature's playground for peaceful exploration. In the bucolic Greenfield Hill area of Fairfield, this home balances secluded living with convenience, located less than 2 miles from dining and shopping at Greenfield Hill Commons and 4 miles to Fairfield Center and Metro North. This is an estate sale; property being sold as-is. Buyer to do their own due diligence.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
