16 Fairfield Avenue, Shelton, CT

Some homes look bigger on paper than they do in person. This ONE does the opposite. Built in 1928 and cared for ever since, this Colonial starts with a front porch and panoramic skyline views - perfect spot for watching the Shelton fireworks from! Inside, the eat-in kitchen is the surprise: oversized, tiled, and built for people who actually cook and then hang around afterward. Upstairs you get two bedrooms and a full bath. Downstairs, a half bath and laundry combo right where you need it. Tile runs through the kitchen, foyer and bath/laundry, and carpet keeps the rest cozy. The unfinished basement adds roughly 450 square feet of storage. Out back is the real prize. Private, fenced, and framed by rolling hills, with a garden and mature plantings somebody had the patience to put in years ago so you get the payoff. There is a composite deck (2017) for the grill, a stone patio (2012) for the fire pit, and two sheds for the mower, the bikes and the "I will get to it" pile. Out front, an extra-wide driveway means nobody is playing musical cars when company shows up. And the stuff nobody photographs but everybody pays for? Roof and gutters, 2022. On-demand gas heating unit, 2018/2019. Appliances, 2015. Fence, 2009. Like a good back line - you never notice it doing its job, and that is exactly the point. Small footprint, big life. Come see this ONE before someone else claims the view.
