If you think modern and vintage cannot coexist in harmony take a look at this special home. Built in 1920 as part of a working farm-where the front porch which still exists and once doubled as a farm stand. This home boasts light filled rooms, 3 bedrooms with the possibility of a 4th, 2 brand new bathrooms plus a half bath on the first floor and an updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances. Hardwood floors throughout have been refinished and the entire interior has been freshly painted. The large living area opens to a generous deck and professionally landscaped backyard that provides for easy outdoor entertaining- and that's just the beginning. Located within easy access to all the new Darien Commons shops and restaurants, and within walking distance to the train station where NYC is less than an hour away, only adds to the allure. Come walk through the front door and you may just feel like you're getting a big hug.
