About This Home

As of April 2025

Location, location, location! So close to everything - schools, train, Woodland Park, shopping and restaurants. 1 Hickory Lane is in one of those neighborhoods you just don't leave. Hang out in the updated kitchen with substantial center island and a picture-perfect bay window. Four good-sized bedrooms, 3 1/2 bathrooms, two wood-burning fireplaces and large entertaining spaces. Three sets of French doors lead to the quiet backyard with a patio and privacy. Don't forget the attached two-car garage that includes attic storage. Sun-drenched and spacious. Well-kept and well-loved on nearly an acre in the heart of Darien. Recent updates include extensive landscaping with irrigation system, new fence and gutters, new exterior and interior paint, full bathroom remodel, and kitchen renovation with refinished cabinets and breakfast bar.
