Description

Gracious center hall colonial perfectly sited on 1.37 acres in the heart of Darien. The very private backyard features a stunning pool, a flagstone terrace and a charming guest cottage which was fully renovated in 2008 and provides approximately 440 SF with an additional bedroom and full bath. The 4 bedroom, 3 and 1/2 bath main house has been beautifully maintained and freshly painted throughout. It has a lovely formal dining room, spacious living room with fireplace, light bright sunroom, office, and kitchen that opens to a large family room with vaulted ceiling, stone fireplace and French doors overlooking the pool. This home is truly a treasure in a sought after neighborhood convenient to Cherry Lawn Park, downtown Darien, shops and train.
