The classic Colonial residence is gracefully set back from the road, blending timeless architecture with a serene natural setting. This is a property defined elegance, and the enduring appeal of one of Darien's most desirable private roads. Inside the home it is bright and sunny with large windows. The floor plan offers excellent space for family gathering and entertaining with scenic views of the property.
