6 Chasmars Pond Rd Darien, CT 06820

A storybook house on a storybook street. This elegant colonial is the perfect place to live, set on a cul-de-sac where kids are always seen riding their bikes, The neighborhood is known for a sense of community, with block parties, a luminaire on Christmas Eve night and tons of trick-or-treaters on Halloween. The street is so picturesque that it was chosen as the backdrop for the movie Revolutionary Road with Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. 6 Chasmars Pond Road offers 5 bedrooms (all on the second floor) and 4.5 baths (1 en suite), as well as the formal living room and dining room typical of colonials.
