About the Home

A true Darien Classic on coveted Birch Road this Circa 1930 six bedroom Colonial has been thoughtfully updated and expanded with modern open spaces while retaining its vintage charm. Approached through stone pillars along a winding drive this home is privately sited on nearly 1.5 acres offering level lawns and professional landscaping. Inside, the principal rooms provide wonderful flow for grand scale entertaining or intimate gatherings. The formal Living Room with fireplace is adjoined by French Doors to a large 4 season Solarium on one side and to the "Entertainment Hall" on the other featuring wet bar, built in cabinetry, granite counters and beverage refrigerator. Adjacent is the expansive open Kitchen/Breakfast/Family Room with chef worthy appliances and a large center island for food prep and gathering friends. A Den/Office is the perfect escape for quiet enjoyment or work related duties. The front to back side Hall provides access to oversized Mudroom with laundry, powder room and back stairs to the second floor Bedrooms. The primary is a true suite with Bedroom, Sitting/Dressing Room, walk in closet and luxury Bath. Five other generous Bedrooms with en suite, Jack & Jill and hall Baths along with a Laundry Room complete the second floor. Recreation and game spaces can be found on the lower level of this special home.
