About this House
Fantastic opportunity to own this sun-filled, turn-key 4 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath home in a lovely Darien neighborhood, walkable to the Noroton Heights train station and adjacent to Woodland Park Nature Preserve! As you step into this quintessential 1926 colonial, you are greeted by open space and an extra large living room that flows into a sweet separate alcove and a gracious formal dining room. The updated kitchen features quartz countertops, newer appliances, and plenty of cabinetry plus a pantry for all your storage needs. The Family room off the kitchen boasts a vaulted ceiling, tons of natural light, and a mudroom area that exits to the large backyard with bluestone patio, oversized detached garage, plus fenced-in yard all backing up to 64.7 acres of woodland trails! Upstairs you will find all 4 generously-sized bedrooms. The primary bedroom has an updated en-suite bathroom plus 2 large closets, making it a comfortable retreat. There is also a large walk-up attic accessible through one of the bedrooms that is ideal for storage and/or possible opportunity to finish for additional living space. The full basement is partially finished with a sizeable playroom/gym area plus ample storage. Updates to this gem include Hardie Plank siding, all-new windows, new paved driveway, newly finished hardwood floors, and more!

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI cannot say enough great things about Holmes Elementary School. Both my kids have been through this school (one boy and one girl) and both have had equally excellent experiences. The principal and vice principal are engaged, proactive, and responsive. The student body are kind, caring, and supportive of their classmates. The staff and teachers are excellent and are a testament to the excellent school district that Darien, CT has invested in.I cannot imagine them having gone anywhere else and am so thrilled with their preparation for middle school.Parent Review3y ago
