Pride of ownership abounds throughout this beautiful home, located in The Monastery in Fairfield. Located in Fairfield City School District, the property is offered by Dena Coyle of Sibcy Cline Realtors with a list price of $282,500. The owners custom built the home 12 years ago.

Undeniable curb appeal hits the senses immediately as one pulls into the driveway, with a two-car front entry garage, brick and vinyl construction, manicured lawn and mature landscaping. The backyard offers more of the same, featuring a walk out patio with hot tub and large deck overlooking the tiered yard. Peaceful and heavily wooded with stunning landscaping, the homeowners enjoy frequent brief visits from meandering deer and wild turkeys.

Upon entering the home through the pretty front door with sidelights, a spacious foyer greets guests. The foyer has hardwood flooring and two closets. To the left is a formal living room with neutral carpet. Behind the living room is a large dining room with tray ceiling, chair rail and warm décor. The dining room overlooks the back yard.

A stunning kitchen is just beyond the dining room. The kitchen features new granite countertops, island, several appliances including a double oven, new gas cook top and a stainless steel double sink. A big pantry, planning desk, eating area and walk out to the deck complete the kitchen.

The kitchen opens to the dining room on one side and the family room on the other. The family room is anchored by an attractive brick hearth and gas fireplace.

At the front of the home is a massive laundry room with storage, cabinetry and hanging rack. A large bathroom is privately situated with hardwood flooring and lovely décor.

Upstairs are four bedrooms and two full baths. The main suite offers a vaulted ceiling, ceiling fan and neutral carpet. The adjoining bath has ceramic tile, double vanity, separate shower, garden tub, linen closet and separate toilet area.

Three additional bedrooms have ceiling fans and neutral carpets. A linen closet and full bath complete the second floor.

The finished lower level offers a multitude of options. A media room is fitted with surround sound and plush carpeting. The area, which is currently used as a home office, could be converted to a fifth bedroom or entertaining area; it has a wet bar with wine refrigerator. A full bath with shower, ceramic tile and linen closet is positioned for guests or family use. Plenty of storage space, including a hobby/work room, is also included in the lower level.
