Bursting with charm, this home has a rare blend of classic old-world character and modern updates and amenities. The thoughtfully designed chef's kitchen features a vaulted ceiling, custom moldings, and a center island, serving as the heart of the home. An open layout connects the kitchen, living spaces, and outdoor areas, making it ideal for both daily living and entertaining. French doors across the back of the house lead to stone terraces with views of a private, rolling lawn and the scenic Darien Land Trust Preserve and river. Upstairs, the primary suite includes a beautifully updated bathroom, along with three additional bedrooms and a hall bath. Quality finishes and original details throughout. Conveniently located within one mile of downtown Darien's shops, restaurants, and train station. A must-see home.
