Set on one of Darien's most sought-after, multi-million dollar cul-de-sacs, this sprawling wood and brick ranch offers exceptional scale and endless potential for the discerning buyer, renovator, or builder. Positioned on a remarkably private 2.5 acre lot, abutting another 10+ acres of protected wetlands, the setting affords unmatched peace, natural beauty, and exclusivity. The interior boasts a versatile layout. The back of the home features expansive walls of glass, with a fully enclosed glass terrace, which creates a seamless visual connection to the serene, wooded surroundings.

Designed with an indoor-outdoor flow in mind, the substantial multi-purpose room anchoring one end of the house, can be used according to any family's needs: a playroom, family room, studio, in-law suite. With its sliding doors that open to the flagstone terrace and the private free-form pool, it shows the flexibility of the design.
