About This Home

As of June 2016

Situated in a unique and serene setting, this Connecticut stone and shingle home was artfully designed with superb views of Darien's beautiful Gorham's Pond from every room. The double story foyer leads to the elegant living room, dining room and study. The gourmet kitchen opens to the spectacular great room with soaring stone fireplace. A delightful screened-in porch and many outdoor terraces are perfect for relaxing, entertaining and enjoying the views. Four ensuite bedrooms include the fabulous master suite with hexagonal sitting area looking towards the historic Rings End Bridge. There is a wine cellar and an area to launch a kayak. Only a few minutes to the town, train and beach yet feels a world away!
