About This Home

As of January 2025

Welcome to your beautifully renovated classic colonial, nestled on one of Darien's most sought-after streets. Step inside and feel right at home in this bright, inviting space where you can immediately enjoy your recently updated kitchen, complete with top-of-the-line appliances and custom cabinetry. The first floor has a seamless flow, featuring a family room that opens onto a stunning deck, perfect for additional living space during the warmer months. When the temperatures drop, cozy up by the fire in the living room. There's a spacious bedroom on the first floor that can also serve as a home office. Upstairs, you'll find two more generously sized bedrooms, along with a primary suite that boasts a luxurious bathroom with radiant heat and a steam shower, plus a full-size walk-in closet. Additional storage is available in the two-car attached garage and the pull-down attic. The lower level features a sunlit, partially finished basement, ideal for a playroom, extra office, or gym. This home has been thoughtfully updated, with new windows installed in 2018, a new heating system in 2021, and a new roof in 2024, just to name a few improvements. And if that's not enough, the location is unbeatable. Enjoy the convenience of walking to the elementary, middle, and high schools, as well as Darien Commons and the Noroton Heights train station
