About This Home

As of September 2020

EXTRAORDINARY NEW CONSTRUCTION...
DISTINCTIVE CLASSIC CHIC IN DARIEN PRIVATE ASSOCIATION
Perfectly sited on 2.77 manicured acres of prime real estate, this just completed state of the art 6860 sq. ft. luxury home is simply breathtaking. From the moment you enter, it becomes apparent you are about to experience something exceptional.
There is an integral sense of a classic modernism in the design that feels refreshing, current and yet timeless…. The nuance of carefully selected high end materials, superb craftsmanship and beautifully proportioned space allows each room to enjoy its own unique allure whilst contributing to an almost magical cohesive aura of consistency and calm.
The flooring is select 5 ,6 and 7-inch-wide white oak perfectly shaded and refined to a rich light softness. Perfect to offset the open foyer with it stunning floor to ceiling panel moldings. The stairway is sublime… open to three full floors…with custom designed black iron, inset to the neutral railings, caps and balustrades. A very soft white coffer detail in the living, dining and family rooms adds such an element of understated distinction to the 10-foot ceilings. The kitchen and adjacent butler’s pantry were custom designed and installed by “a master” (Peter Deane of Kitchens by Deane) and represents the finest and latest in kitchen splendor utilizing new materials, details as well as spatial and technical excellence. The casual dining / breakfast area and opens seamlessly
