In Contract: 18 Cummings Avenue, Fairfield, CT

18 Cummings Avenue came to my buyers before it ever reached the market — a call from a friend whose neighbor was preparing to sell. Empty nesters returning to Fairfield after 30 years, they wanted walkability and the beach, in one of the tightest markets in town.

We began the search in one of the most competitive markets in town—with tight criteria and very few options available. But in June, I got a call from a friend whose neighbor was preparing to list their home. The moment we stepped inside, we knew. It checked every single box.

After navigating a round of highest and best offers—and a second round of strategic negotiations—we officially secured the deal.

Now under contract, this stunning Colonial blends timeless charm with thoughtful updates and an unbeatable location:

4 bedrooms | 2.5 baths | Fully renovated and sun-filled

Designer kitchen with quartz countertops, herringbone backsplash, and a walk-in pantry

Luxurious primary suite with spa-like bath and Kohler rain shower

Private fenced backyard with patio and landscaped gardens

Attached 2-car garage and bonus third-floor flex space

Just minutes from downtown Fairfield, beaches, shops, restaurants, and the train

Fairfield Beach continues to be one of the most intriguing markets in town. I’ve sold approximately $9M in the beach area in 2025 alone—and with limited inventory, rising values, and amenities at your fingertips, most homeowners are living in equity they don’t even realize they have.

If you’ve been thinking about making a move, now’s the time. I still have buyers looking for beach homes with walkability, charm, and lifestyle at the core. Let’s talk about what your home might be worth—or what’s quietly coming to market next.

Update: 18 Cummings Avenue has since closed — see how it finished.
