About This Home

As of June 2020

This charming farmhouse colonial sits at the top of a cul de sac located off historic Prospect Ave in the heart of Darien. Walk to train, schools, and town for a coffee or bite to eat. Built in 2012, you will find a bright open floor plan that families look for today. The gourmet eat in kitchen has an oversized island open to dining and family room. Its airy feel is complimented by a large wrapped covered porch and a second story deck that gives access to three bedrooms. There is also a den on the second floor that could be used as a fifth bedroom. The master has California design closets and luxury bath. The lot is a beautifully landscaped protected 1/2 acre. This desirable location is perfect for young families. The Morehouse circle is a friendly neighborhood, allowing lots of open space for recreational activities and summer holiday barbecues. The exterior of the home is maintenance free! The siding is HardiePlank, and the decks are Azek – both products designed to withstand the New England weather.
