The Queen Anne-style Victorian house at 220 Farist Road was built in 1894 and retains many architectural details of the late 19th century time period while it was updated for modern living.

The formal living room is one of 17 rooms in this 5,300 square-foot house.

The formal dining room features one of the home’s seven fireplaces.

The “entrance room” is actually a sizable foyer accessed from the French doors of the front entrance and from the side entrance. A previous resident of the house was married in this “room.”

The chef’s kitchen of the main house includes a center island, granite counters, and six-burner Dynasty range with a double oven.

On the third floor the in-law apartment has a renovated and updated kitchen with a center island, marble counters, stainless appliances, and an original stained glass window.

The third floor includes a sizable in-law apartment.

The master bedroom suite is one of five bedrooms in this 17-room house. It has a decorative fireplace that can be rendered functional again.

One room features a late 19th century safe built into the wall. It is more decorative than functional these days with hand-painted birds and flowers on its doors.

The family room has a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace.

The French doors of the front entrance open into the foyer where the staircase to the second floor has decorative newel posts.

The house features a 1,900-square-foot, wide, covered front porch, which wraps around both sides of the house.

Recycling bins for used fishing line can be found at area marinas and fishing spots, including at Ye Yacht Yard and the South Benson Marina in Fairfield. Fairfield,CT. 10/9/18

There are new white plastic bins on docks and pier around Bridgeport and Fairfield that will help to protect birds and other wildlife from getting tangled in used fishing line. Discarded monofilament fishing line is dangerous to birds, fish, and other wildlife. Line caught on piers, branches, and bushes on land and water can result in wildlife drowning, starvation, and limb amputations. Fishing line also imperils swimmers and damages propellers and outboard motors. The Connecticut Audubon Society recently sponsored a Monofilament Fishing Line Recycling Program that built and installed PVC recycling bins at 16 fishing locations in Bridgeport and Fairfield.
