From the sparkling new eat-in kitchen with island/breakfast bar, SS appliances and walk-in pantry to the amazing primary bedroom suite with spa-like soaking tub and walk-in rain shower you will be immediately captivated by the quality of craftsmanship, materials and finishes. The same care and attention to detail was given to the exterior which boasts Hardy Board siding with Azek trim, architectural shingle roof and expanded blacktop driveway with lock block stone wall.

Less glamorous but no less important you'll find new PEX plumbing, electrical wiring and structural enhancements so that you can live virtually maintenance free for years.

A stones throw to the soon to be completed Darien Commons and Noroton Heights Shopping Center with scores of new retail stores and restaurants. Come see this gem of a home! Please note that the square footage amount of 2,026 was based on 160 sf of additional dormer space being added to the town's amount of 1,866. Basement space not included in sf totals.
