About This Home

As of June 2021

This custom, colonial-style Darien home is nicely sited on a lovely, maturely landscaped property on a cul de sac. The convenient location is within walking distance to town, school and train. The comfortable and inviting interior features custom built-in cabinetry and trim throughout. An open floor plan provides loads of natural light and plenty of room for family and friends. The spacious, up-to-date, eat-in kitchen includes elegant, floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, granite countertops, a wet bar and a breakfast area. A mudroom, butler’s pantry and a separate office complete the space. The open and bright family room is perfect for hanging out and leads outside to a south-facing stone terrace, ideal for outdoor dining and barbecues. A nicely appointed living room includes a wood burning fireplace, pocket doors and built-ins. The second floor features 4 bedrooms, 3 balconies, a laundry room and an open foyer - a great spot for homework or enjoying a good book from one of the built-in bookcases. The large master bedroom has his and hers walk-in closets, a master bath and a spacious south-facing balcony. On the third floor, a generous family area/playroom is a haven for kids and adults alike and is thoughtfully designed with lots of storage and closet space plus an adjoining office/bedroom and bathroom suite . Last but not least, the huge basement provides even more storage and the potential for additional finished living space.
