About This Home

As of February 2018

UNDERSTATED AND FABULOUS...An Exceptional & Rare Find! An incredible location … only a short walk to the Darien station (.3 mi.) and to Darien’s vibrant town center AND...within an enchanting cul-de-sac neighborhood reminiscent of our best memories.
It is not often that a home offering so much of what buyers are asking for comes to market!
A stunning, meticulously maintained and beautifully expanded Nantucket Cape Cod Classic on .86 acres This sunny, spacious and updated home offers 3,323 sq. ft. of easy living: Four/Five bedrooms, 3 full baths and powder room. A completely redone, eat-in kitchen, with Caesar stone countertops and brand new appliances, opens to a 600-sq.ft., vaulted-ceiling family room with a wall of windows overlooking pastoral surroundings of nature accessed by the walk-out deck leading to manicured lawns, gardens, and beautiful stone walls. There is, of course, an elegant living/dining room with fireplace, as well as an office and a full, clean-as-a-whistle, easy-access, lower level providing plenty of storage. Private road association, with annual social events, and a prime location completes the picture, making this home a truly special, hidden gem.
