Just Sold: 18 Cummings Avenue

18 Cummings Avenue sold for $1,605,000 — and my buyers saw it before it hit the market. Agent and community relationships got them early access, then strategy won a multi-offer situation. Empty nesters returning to Fairfield after 30 years, they wanted walkability, beach proximity and all-day sun. They got all three.

For my buyers, empty nesters returning to Fairfield after more than 30 years, the search wasn’t just about finding a home—it was about finding the right combination. Walkability to town, the train, restaurants, and entertainment was non-negotiable. Proximity to the beach was a must. And backyard living—complete with southern and western exposure for all-day sun—was everything. Add in FEMA compliance for peace of mind, and it was a tall order to fill in one of the town’s most competitive markets.

They were patient in waiting for the perfect fit, but also prepared to act quickly in a market where timing is everything. When this Colonial surfaced, they knew it was worth moving fast. With 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a chef’s kitchen, spa-like primary suite, and a private fenced yard, it checked every single box.

Through trusted connections, I gained early access before the home officially hit the market, positioning my clients ahead of the competition. In a multi-offer scenario, my strategy and negotiations secured the winning offer—while keeping the process seamless for both sides.

Sale Highlights:

• Sold for $1,605,000

• Pre-market access through agent and community relationships

• FEMA compliant + optimal southern/western exposure

• Walkable to town, train, restaurants, entertainment & a quick bike to the beach

For my buyers, this wasn’t just about closing—it was about coming home to the lifestyle they’ve been envisioning for years.
