655 Beach Road

Some beach homes ask you to compromise on space. This one was designed so you wouldn't have to. Just blocks from the beach, this five-bedroom, five-bath home offers approximately 4,000 square feet of beautifully considered living space-with the character, warmth, and indoor-outdoor connection that make coastal living so appealing. Designed by architect Jim Lancaster and built by Thomas Kane Builders in 2014, the home was conceived around one simple idea: make the outdoors part of everyday life. A gracious front porch invites you to watch the world go by. The screened porch, with its wood-burning fireplace, turns cool evenings into something to look forward to. Expansive decks and patios create places to grill, dine, gather, and even watch Fairfield's Fourth of July fireworks from home. Inside, the kitchen and family room form the heart of the house, while a flexible floor plan provides options for guests, work, or multigenerational living. Five bedrooms-including two on the finished third floor-offer a rare amount of space for the beach area. Substantial yet welcoming. Coastal without cliche. And designed to be lived in, inside and out.
