About This Home

As of October 2021

Situated high on a private hill in the Salem Straits Association, this traditional English home has gracious charm rarely seen, which many new constructions simply cannot offer. Built in 1919, totally renovated in 2007 and updated again in 2016, this house is truly a home for all seasons. Renovated kitchen with top of the line appliances and oversized island make the spacious sunny kitchen the heart of the home. Mature gardens and professionally maintained grounds with stunning landscape lighting come alive each season. The Family room with wet bar off the kitchen look out onto the private grounds with a sparkling pool, and enjoy western light all day long. A separate playroom above the garage is ideal for relaxing, while the master suite offers ample room for an office. Coffered ceilings and a fireplace make the the dining room perfect for entertaining. The formal sunken living room with fireplace, coiffured ceilings and French doors add to the living spaces. Radiant heat in mudroom, kitchen, master bathroom.
Newly appointed flagstone terrace, outdoor fire place and pool make this home the perfect sanctuary, and the ideal property to entertain. Enjoy a stroll thru the Association or around beautiful Long Neck Point.
Keep your boat at the Salem Straits Association dock. A five minute drive to Noroton Heights or Darien train station & Tokeneke school district.
This house has been cared for and the charming qualities of 1919 craftsmanship have been well preserved.
