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.
