About the Home

Tucked away on one of Darien's most sought-after cul-de-sacs, this masterfully renovated custom estate sits on a picturesque 1.3-acre lot that feels like a private sanctuary. The home reveals nearly 8,000 square feet of living space, blending sophisticated entertaining areas with effortless everyday comfort. At the heart of the home, the chef's kitchen is a study in clean lines and high-end function. The thoughtful layout includes the rare luxury of two dedicated offices, ensuring quiet space for productivity. The private quarters are equally impressive, featuring five sun-filled bedrooms, each with its own private en suite bath. One of the most captivating retreats is the three-season screened porch. With soaring cathedral ceilings and a magnificent stone fireplace it's the perfect spot to entertain or enjoy the views year-round. The lower level serves as a true destination for recreation, boasting a media room, a spacious rec room, and a dramatic wine cellar. The resort-style experience continues outdoors. A sprawling terrace leads to a sleek pool and refreshing plunge pool, complemented by an outdoor kitchen and a dedicated fire pit. Beyond the manicured lawn, the property's natural beauty takes center stage with a private pond that serves as a year-round playground-perfect for summer fishing or winter ice skating. Every inch of this estate has been designed to offer a lifestyle that is as grand as it is inviting.
