About This Home

As of November 2025

Incredible value in one of Darien's most-loved neighborhoods! 4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms with 2,707 square feet of space. Walk to Holmes School, Middlesex Middle School, Darien High School and Noroton Heights train and shopping. Improvements include: fully fenced backyard, new gas range, new dishwasher, refinished hardwood floors and kitchen cabinets, new driveway with Belgium blocks and curb, epoxy garage flooring, entire interior and exterior painted, new kitchen backsplash, new floor in family room and 2020 Trane gas furnace. House was gutted in 2001 with new Marvin windows and sliders, new electrical, plumbing and mechanicals plus the addition of 735 square feet. Cozy-up for fall with two wood burning fireplaces and watch the sun set from the picture-perfect window seat. Sliders from both dining room and breakfast nook open to private patio. Woodland Park is next door with 60 acres of trails and natural habitat. Move-in ready and just in time for the holidays! Exterior and kitchen "virtually" painted white.
