About This Home
As of December 2025Lovingly maintained and updated by the same owners for 34 years, this charming split-level home in Darien is truly a special find. You're immediately welcomed by the impeccably landscaped lot that sets the tone for the care and pride found throughout.

The kitchen features classic oak cabinetry, Corian countertops, and plenty of space for everyday meals. The lower-level family room is ideal for entertaining, complete with a large bar area and a cozy brick fireplace with gas logs. A generously sized laundry room offers abundant cabinet storage and a convenient drop zone when entering from the attached 2-car garage. Upstairs, you'll find three comfortable bedrooms - all with hardwood flooring (currently protected by carpet) - and a beautifully updated full bath with a large vanity and tiled tub/shower. Siding and windows (2005), bay window (2019), roof (2008), furnace & humidifier (2013), A/C (2020), and water heater (2025). This home has been cherished for decades, and now it's ready for its next owners to make new memories.
