About This Home

As of July 2020

“HAPPY” - The welcome mat on the front porch says it all. Rarely do you find the charm and heritage of a period home paired with a modern foundation, renovated kitchen and baths, and an open concept layout designed for today’s living. The thoughtfully designed custom kitchen with a vaulted ceiling breakfast nook blends seamlessly with the interior and exterior entertaining areas promoting superb circulation. Whether you are sharing a meal in the elegant dining room, sitting by a roaring fire in the living room, working from home in the dedicated office, hanging out in the family room, or perched with a drink on the elevated gazebo deck overlooking your own private backyard oasis with in-ground pool – this home’s charm and character will envelope you in comfort. The upstairs has a master suite with two double closets and renovated marble bathroom, two additional bedrooms and a full hall bath, also newly renovated. Superb finishes, wide-plank antique flooring, period details, a stroll to the beach … all within 1 mile to the heart of Darien’s shops, restaurants, award-winning library and transportation. A rare and winning combination ready for immediate occupancy!
