About This Home

As of June 2022

This colonial jewel is set back in seclusion just over the Darien line in Norwalk, a preferred location for all conveniences - food, restaurants, shopping, schools and more - and four minutes to the Norwalk train, seven to the Darien station. Updated and turn-key, the house has a spacious entry, a gracious living room with French doors ( being used as a home office), separate dining room with bay window, and a cozy family room with fireplace. The large kitchen offers glowing white cabinets and an eating area overlooking the deck and the back yard. Also on the first floor are a separate powder room and laundry. Large upstairs bedrooms have ample closet storage and share the hall bath with double sinks. The luxurious master suite has a walk- in closet, master bath with double sinks, a skylight and vaulted ceiling. More useable space on the lower-level is fully carpeted. The one plus acre property is accessed by a long private drive with rear yard fully fenced and backing up to Getner Farm. Mature trees and plantings are the view from the large rear deck, and more trees shield the view from the road. Do not miss this special home!
