50 University Drive, Fairfield, CT 06824
Some homes simply feel right the moment you arrive—and this is one of them. Tucked into one of the Fairfield University area’s most sought-after enclaves, this colonial was custom built from the foundation up in 2021, blending timeless character with the ease and quality of new construction. Cedar shake siding, an Azek pergola, Marvin windows, and mature, professionally landscaped grounds give it a settled, established presence that belies its age.
What sets this home apart is how it was built. This was never a spec house put up to sell—it was custom designed by owners who intended to stay, and it shows. They built in the kind of thoughtful features and quality upgrades you rarely find in new construction: the details that don’t always catch the eye in a listing photo but make daily life noticeably easier, more comfortable, and more e!cient. It’s a home shaped by people who thought through how they actually wanted to live in it.
The setting is something rare. Reaching the home takes a few turns o" the beaten path, and that’s precisely its charm—a quiet, welcoming enclave where kids play in the street, walking and biking come naturally, and the whole neighborhood turns out for a block party each year. Convenience is never sacrificed for that privacy. I-95 is five minutes away, the Merritt Parkway close behind, and both the Fairfield Metro and Downtown Fairfield train stops are a five-minute drive. Downtown Fairfield and Black Rock Turnpike shopping are about equidistant, and the beach, marina, and parks are all five minutes out.
Inside, the home strikes an uncommon balance—refined but livable, thoughtfully designed but genuinely comfortable. Wide white oak floors, high ceilings, and warm designer finishes carry through a layout built for the way people actually live: a kitchen that flows e"ortlessly between family and dining spaces, a first floor that works as hard for quiet mornings as it does for a house full of guests, and a private primary suite made for unwinding at the end of the day. Every detail here was considered, and every space was made to be used. This is a home that rewards a closer look—but the feeling of arriving, settling in, and belonging is something you’ll want to experience for yourself.
