About This Home

As of March 2020

First home? Second home? Summer house? You decide. Classic. Chic. Understated. Simple and sophisticated. Warm and inviting. Materials and design, thoughtfully selected and created. Every inch, exceptional and unique. Salt water pool and year-round spa. Call it the sunroom or the cocktail lounge - look under your feet through glass from Barcelona – into a 1,500 bottle wine cellar with American black walnut cabinets, hand forged iron door and polished concrete floor. Custom climbing wall and inside basement playground. Full gym. Full of light. Private two acres. Mid-Darien and minutes to everything. 676 Hollow Tree Ridge Road. Tasteful and timeless. Lived in luxury. A home for generations.
