About This Home

As of November 2025

Sun-drenched and brimming with character, this home resides on a quiet, sought-after street in the heart of Darien. A welcoming front porch sets the tone, inviting you into a home that blends timeless charm with modern sophistication. Inside, an expansive living room flows seamlessly into the dining room, enhanced by classic pocket doors, while the modern kitchen opens to a spacious new composite wood deck, ideal for dining al fresco, entertaining, or simply enjoying serene views of the beautifully landscaped grounds. The master Bedroom features soaring cathedral ceilings and generous closet space. At the rear of the property, an oversized, totally remodeled cottage, with a French door leading to a private garden oasis, offers endless flexibility, whether for working from home, entertaining, or simply relaxing. With its ample lot size, the property also presents exceptional potential for expansion and additional living space. Its prime location is unmatched, just a short walk to the train, Darien Commons, Heights Crossing, and only minutes from beaches, fine dining, shopping, and the newly revitalized Noroton Heights. This home is the perfect blend of classic Colonial charm and today's modern convenience, offering a lifestyle of comfort, elegance, and possibility.
