About This Home

As of June 2013

PEACE...SERENITY...STYLE... AND A TOUCH OF WHIMSEY ! There is no question that this is a Darien residence of unique location, character and design. Only minutes from town...it is hard to imagine a setting like this still exists! Once an equestrian estate home, 287 Mansfield still maintains the original character of it's intention while having been transformed by virtue of significant renovation, and updates to a new standard of excellence. 2.87 beautiful acres with direct views of the renowned Ox Ridge Hunt Club...(and opposite the Country Club Of Darien Fairways)... the extensive new exterior and interior suggests a lifestyle of relaxed sophistication. See Renovation & Upgrade Detail In Listing Addendum.
