One of the most unique home designs Fairfield County has to offer, 7 Sandpiper Road is structurally one-of-a-kind – and with architect Peter Cadoux as the visionary, it’s no surprise. With atypical triangular wings and numerous overhanging balconies, this home manages to awe from every angle. Safe to say, we wouldn’t mind taking up residence in the private sunroom for a few days. Altogether, a private beach and gorgeous views of the Long Island Sound complete the elegance of this European-inspired chateau.
