**Highest and Best by Tuesday 11/18 at 12** Set in the heart of Southport, this well-maintained 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath Colonial offers exceptional potential in one of Fairfield's most picturesque coastal communities. Loved by one family since it was built in 1955, the home features solid craftsmanship, hardwood floors, and a light-filled layout. The first floor includes a traditional center hall design with a front-to-back living room with a wood-burning fireplace, an eat-in kitchen with original mid-century details and pantry, a spacious dining room, half bath, and a bright sun porch overlooking the backyard, an ideal mudroom. Upstairs are three generously sized bedrooms, a full bath, and excellent storage. The front-to-back primary bedroom includes access to the walk-up attic, offering expansion potential for an office, family room, or future primary suite. The unfinished lower level provides additional storage or finishing possibilities. The home is set on a level .43-acre lot with mature trees and features a detached two-car garage and partially fenced yard. The location adds incredible value- walking distance to Mill Hill Elementary School and just over a mile to Southport Village's shops, restaurants, and train station. Surrounded by million-dollar homes, this property offers a rare opportunity for buyers or builders to create something truly special. **Buyers to do their due diligence**
