The Farmhouse

This historic farmhouse dates to 1850 and sits atop the highest point on Greenfield Hill, in Fairfield Connecticut.  Having just three owners since 1929 — among them attorney Robert Flack and his wife Elizabeth, who entertained neighbors Leonard Bernstein, Richard Rogers and Oscar Hammerstein — the home carries a storied legacy.

Carefully updated for modern living without compromising its character, the house features a two-story ogee glass conservatory imported from England, a professional-grade kitchen, and a unique octagonal cherrywood passageway to create a natural flow connecting rooms on the first floor.  Traditional details blend seamlessly with contemporary touches — from French ironwork to unique craftspieces from around the world. 

Upstairs, a large eyebrow window with keystone overlooks the half acre formal garden from the master bedroom.

Features: Countless vignette opportunities inside and out, stunning architectural details,

Square Footage: 4500 square feet

Natural Lighting: House faces south. Morning light is ideal. The conservatory offers natural light all day. Other areas in the house are limited.
