Welcome to a sneak peek behind the scenes of a truly remarkable restoration project in the heart of Downtown Rowayton, Connecticut. At 6 Crockett Street, a majestic antique Victorian home is undergoing a meticulous restoration process, breathing new life into its authentic antique windows and preserving the charm of a bygone era.
Behind the Restoration
Restoring a historic home is no small feat; it’s an art that requires passion, dedication, and the skilled hands of experts. At 6 Crockett Street, the team at R. J. Aley Building Contractors, based in Westport, is weaving their magic to bring this antique gem back to life. One of their best practices is to gently steam the windows to preserve the original glass and remove the old paint instead of chipping and sanding. This prevents lead dust and particles from getting into the air and onto the ground. Their commitment to preserving the home’s historic character while incorporating modern amenities is truly commendable.
The Windows That Tell a Story
One of the most captivating features of this Victorian beauty is its stunning antique windows. Each pane of glass, every piece of intricate woodwork, tells a story of a time when craftsmanship was revered. The restoration process involves a delicate touch, a keen eye for detail, and a deep appreciation for the heritage of this home. Witnessing the transformation of these windows is like stepping back in time.

Each week there are specific days for each town when Realtors® can tour new listings on the market. Doing this enables us to help you best value your house when you’re ready to sell as well as guide your offer when you purchase.
I wanted to share three featured tours with you, because they are so special and completely different from one another! One is the bright condominium complex that is being constructed in the beach and downtown area. Another is a romantic antique in Greenfield Hill with property that dreams are made of, and the third is a grand and spectacularly renovated home near the Brooklawn Country Club!
Here’s a behind the scenes peek at The Reef at Fairfield Beach. The complex is within walking distance to the train, town, and beach and is comprised of nine townhouse-style units, each with elevator or elevator potential. One unit is under contract at the time of this post. (Click image for tour and tab through the clips.)
The next tour takes you back in time to an antique home in Greenfield Hill with this description in the listing introduction, “ENCHANTED GARDENS – With a magical setting created by renowned botanist and floral designer, Peter Stephens, this beautiful and enchanting 2.9 acre property is enveloped in secluded, private terraces, bubbling fountains, remarkable flower and vegetable gardens, whimsical secret vignettes and meandering pathways, garden sheds, barns (flowers, recreation, storage, poultry, ponies), twin paddocks, and meadows and river beyond.” Relax and enjoy the short video montage!
Last, but not least is a vintage home owned and decorated by an artist in the Brooklawn area of Fairfield. Brooklawn Park is a 69-lot subdivision that gets its name from the private sprawling Brooklawn Country Club founded in 1895. It was a prestigious development built in the early 1900s to serve the elite industrial businessmen at the time. The homes are palatial in size and each has its unique character.

What keeps you up at night? 🛌 🥱 🏡 If it’s the house that you’re in, what about getting a new one? I know the current market presents its challenges, but doesn’t every market? 🧐 Yet, people make their moves during all times of year and in all markets.
In fact YTD as of today, April 16, 2023, a total of 215 home buyers and sellers made successful moves ➡️ in Fairfield and Westport. There are 167 additional happy people celebrating accepted offers. And there are 181 active and Coming Soon listings on the market ready for their next occupants. 🥳
Bridging the gap is not always easy, but it absolutely can be done. If you think a local move is hard, consider my client who was able to sell her home in California and buy her new home here in Southport. The timing is right on target for an end-of-April closing! You’ve heard the saying, ‘when there’s a will there’s a way’, right?
If your home is keeping you up at night, why not give me a call to see if we can move you and your bed to a better place! 📲203-912-4440.
Something OLD and something NEW were added to the Fairfield Connecticut market this week providing more of a range of options to buyers. I saw the Victorian home 🏡 on tour, and previewed the new construction near the beach 🌊 to share via WhatsApp with my client in LA.

Pack your suitcase and step into your home away from home in the heart of Fairfield’s vibrant beach neighborhood. Walk to the beach or tennis. Bike, scooter or drive downtown, and enjoy the chic eateries and shops or hop on the train to NYC or New Haven. You’ll be cool and comfortable with central air, the newly-renovated kitchen, sunny views of the tidal marsh, spacious bedrooms for all, and two full baths with a tub and shower. Penfield Beach offers a snack bar, bathrooms with hot showers, lifeguards, and a playground, so you can go and spend the entire day!
