Frankly, my dear, this house is impossible to resist
828 Sasco Hill Road - Fairfield, Connecticut
Tucked away on nearly 3 private acres atop Fairfield’s iconic Sasco Hill, Pebbles is a $10.25 million Georgian Revival estate that blends Hollywood glamour with East Coast grace. Built in 1926 by architect Francis Hamilton, this 5,920-square-foot residence once served as the summer haven for Broadway impresario John C. Wilson and his partner, Noël Coward—the legendary English playwright.
The parties at Pebbles were the stuff of showbiz lore, with guests like Vivien Leigh of Gone with the wind and Laurence Olivier sipping cocktails under the Connecticut stars. It’s easy to see how they were enchanted by sweeping views of the Long Island Sound, Southport Harbor, and—on a clear day—the New York City skyline.
Like the celebrities before, linger in the formal gardens surrounded by Eden roses, koi ponds, and historic stone walls, or take a dip in the 48' x 23' heated pool, which earned its own screen time in the 1968 Burt Lancaster film The Swimmer.
Inside, the house exudes refined warmth with hand-carved moldings, four wood-burning fireplaces, and a stunning mix of antique detail and modern comfort. The six bedrooms and nine baths (six full, three half) are spread across 14 spacious rooms designed for both entertaining and elegant everyday living.
The location is just as dreamy—steps from Sasco Beach and minutes to the train, Southport Village, and the Country Club of Fairfield.
