About the Home

The risers of the steps leading from the road to 121 Middlesex are inscribed with “White Oak Farm,” welcoming you to one of Darien’s most treasured properties. This pre-1900s farmstead was enlarged circa 1920, and the solid concrete walls that were added make the home virtually draft-free. Charming details abound, from antique-glass windows to original longleaf pine flooring and period appropriate crown moldings. While the home has been meticulously maintained in its historic roots it has also been thoughtfully renovated & modernized for high efficiency. The renovated areas have large, top of the line low-e casement windows bringing tons of sunlight throughout house. Kitchen elements include a butterflied black walnut island made out of a single flitch of wood. A LaCanche duel fuel range w/french top & Liebherr Refrigerator. The downstairs has an easy flow from kitchen to family room with a cozy wood-burning original fireplace. Four light-filled bedrooms including an oversized master suite w/ sitting room round out the upstairs. The large yard is an award-winning gardenscape complete with a low-maintenance koi pond, whimsical red maple treehouse & a built in outdoor Lynx grill with fridge & ice maker. A geothermal heating/cooling system is in place for optimum efficiency. This is a rare opportunity to own a local treasure in a prime location, an easy walk to elementary, middle, and high schools, as well as the train and new Darien Commons shopping center. Not to be missed.
