Iconic 19th Century Stone Structure Home Sold in Fairfield

FAIRFIELD, CT — An iconic stone structure property on Soundview Avenue has been sold for $755,500, the realtors announced on Wednesday.

Barbara L. Pearce, CEO and President of Pearce Real Estate, announced in a press release that Eileen Russell and John Bergin, two Pearce Commercial Pros in the Company’s Milford Commercial Office, successfully represented the owner and buyer in the sale of 300 Soundview Avenue.

The three-family investment property, owned by Patricia O’Boyle, was purchased by 17 Mile, LLC, of Pennsylvania. The iconic, stone structure was built in the mid-19th century and was converted to a three-family house and divested of much of its acreage nearly a century later.

Ingeniously, the structure contains an active, inconspicuous cell tower.
