On the Market: Updated Queen Anne Victorian home offers charm

By Meg Barone
on November 17, 2020 11:11 AM
  • In the formal dining room there is an ornate, large scale, built-in mahogany mirror and an arch with amber-colored glass window panes surrounding a large picture window.
The coral pink-colored antique Queen Anne Victorian house at 122 Stratfield Road in Fairfield definitely qualifies as unique. Its next owners can be assured there is not another quite like it.
It was built in 1894 and has retained its character, charm and many of its period details, even through a 2004 renovation and a more recent updating project, both of which imbued the home with modern amenities and styling.

“Architects and antiques aficionados; this Queen Ann Victorian on Connecticut's Gold Coast will not disappoint. Late 19th century American Victorian vernacular architectural details will enthrall the senses; a multi-tonal and textured exterior, high ceilings, intricate millwork, wide board floors, secret passageways, brass and crystal light fixtures, windows of varying sizes, shapes and designs including stained glass.”

  • A hand-carved decorative newel post is topped with a period art nouveau lantern that was originally gas-fueled, but was converted to electric.
The nine-room, 2,749-square-foot house sits on a 0.19-acre level property in the Stratfield neighborhood, across the street from the Brooklawn Country Club golf course. The driveway of this corner lot is on Querida Street, and it provides off-street parking as well as a detached two-car garage with a separate entrance to a storage loft.
That loft can be finished to create more living space; perhaps a home office, an art or yoga studio, or a game room.

  • The coral pink-colored antique Queen Anne Victorian house at 122 Stratfield Road in Fairfield’s Stratfield neighborhood was built in 1894 but was modernized for today’s living.
The exterior of the house has interesting curb appeal, its sleek front façade making it appear thinner and smaller than it actually is. The covered front porch wraps around three sides. Inside this former rectory for Assumption Church, the modernized interior still highlights the beautiful period details including intricate millwork, wide-board and inlaid oak floors, several original stained-glass windows, and brass and crystal lighting fixtures, both period and reproduction. It also features spacious rooms with nine-foot-plus ceilings.
The vestibule features French doors with beveled glass and original hardware. A hand-carved decorative newel post is topped with a period art nouveau lantern that was originally gas-fueled, but was converted to electric. In the formal dining room there is an ornate, large scale, built-in mahogany mirror and a dramatic arch with amber-colored glass window panes surrounding a large picture window.

  • In the updated gourmet eat-in kitchen there are granite counters, original tin ceiling, raised red brick fireplace, high end stainless appliances and a farm sink.
Off the kitchen is the mahogany conservatory or solarium with a vaulted ceiling and a door to the attractive fenced yard, which is a manageable size with several sitting areas, perennial flower gardens and a raised vegetable garden.
On the second floor there are three bedrooms, two baths and several hand-crafted, tongue-and-groove paneled doors and reproduction vintage wall sconces. The spacious master suite has a ceiling fan, luxurious marble bath with a decorative tile radiant heated flooring, a dressing area and walk-in closet with built-in organizers. The finished third floor provides lots of storage and two additional rooms with wide-planked knotty pine flooring; perfect spaces as a home office, another bedroom, gym, yoga, media, meditation, play, or Zoom room. The latter use would especially come in handy should the current coronavirus pandemic necessitate distance learning or working from home.
The full unfinished basement offers additional storage, a workshop, huge double utility sink, and room for a wine cellar, and exercise area.
