59 Princeton Street, Bridgeport, CT 06605

Steps from the restaurants, cafes, and shops of Fairfield Avenue, this beautifully updated Black Rock Dutch Colonial puts one of the coast's most walkable strips right at your doorstep. Inside, gleaming hardwood floors, fresh paint, updated luxury lighting, classic columned archways, and (newly-replaced) oversized windows fill the home with natural light. The open living and dining rooms center on a charming decorative fireplace and flow easily for both everyday living and entertaining. The tastefully upgraded kitchen features white shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, a blue subway-tile backsplash, and stainless appliances. A standout sunroom wrapped in windows beneath a warm wood-plank ceiling makes the perfect home office, studio, or sun-filled retreat. Upstairs you will find four generous bedrooms, including a bright primary, a newly-renovated full bath, and the rare convenience of a second-floor laundry tucked into the hall. A brand new 1st floor powder room, walk-out basement, detached garage, and fenced yard round out a true move-in-ready package with quick access to Metro-North and I-95 for an effortless commute. There is real craftsmanship behind the updates here. Fluted columns and wide cased openings frame the principal rooms, an original turned-spindle staircase anchors the entry, and deep moldings and tall windows lend the kind of period character that is hard to find at this price. The floor plan lives large, with a roughly 15-by-12 family room, a comparably sized living room, and bedrooms scaled for real furniture, including a primary that stretches just over 15 feet. Practical perks set it apart too: a full walk-out basement spanning the footprint offers excellent storage and workshop potential, upgraded insulation in the walls allows your heating and newly-installed AC systems to operate at maximum efficiency, and the detached garage delivers the off-street parking that is so coveted in this part of Black Rock. Best of all is the everyday convenience of the location, with Fairfield Avenue's dining and shopping a short walk away, the harbor, marinas, and waterfront that give Black Rock its character close by, and Metro-North, I-95, and the Merritt Parkway all within easy reach for commuters. Homes that combine this much space, updated style, real parking, and a genuine walk-to-everything address do not come along often. Come experience 59 Princeton and picture yourself here!
