About This Home

As of June 2021

In the heart of the Tokeneke Association, a unique 1935 period home, lovingly maintained, updated, and cared for by its present owners, has come on the market to delight those who enjoy the enchanting combination of old-world charm and all the creature comforts of today’s lifestyle. Set on a beautifully landscaped level acre with a swimming pool, an original, large red barn still watches proudly over the property. As an apartment on the second floor for the nanny, family, guests, grown-up kids, the barn offers 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, fireplace, and the ultimate open concept in the living/dining/office/kitchen area. The entry-level could be used as a garage, with an extra laundry room, and lots of storage. The main house has 4 bedrooms, 5 ½ bathrooms, and 4,631 sq. ft. The beautifully preserved 1935 wide board floors still grace the home. Just the right size for most families, whether downsizing or upgrading to the most coveted location in Darien, this one-of-a-kind property is an ideal place for those who appreciate the best historical New England has to offer.
