About This Home
Come see this freshly transformed home on a gorgeous, flat 2.64 acre lot in the heart of Darien. Rooted in history and alive w/possibility, this freshly renewed and effortlessly inviting, 3,411 sf residence welcomes w/antique wide plank floors whispering the past, while a bright, open flow draws you into the present. The formal dining room sets the stage for memorable evenings, while an expansive great room rises w/vaulted ceilings, anchored by a wood burning hearth as sunlight spills through French doors onto a stone patio, uniting the quiet beauty of the outdoors. Nearby, a charming parlor/home office with its own fireplace drifts into a cozy den w/bath, offering space to work or unwind. At the heart of the home, the kitchen shines. New quartz counters and crisp white cabinetry frame a generous butcher block island where meals begin and conversations linger. Here, life unfolds naturally w/gatherings beside a dual-sided fireplace, sharing laughter, stories and simple moments. The adjacent playroom w/half bath completes this ideal setting. Upstairs, 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and a thoughtfully placed laundry area create ease for everyday living. Yet it's beyond the walls where this property truly captures the imagination. Step outside to a sweeping, level lawn where possibilities stretch as far as the eye can see. Host a soccer match, cultivate a garden, or wander along your own wooded path. This is more than a home. It's a place to grow, gather and dream bigger with time.
