Read the full listing description
Built in 2015, this custom smart home brings a modern twist to the traditional New England center hall colonial. High ceilings and rich custom millwork are featured throughout, notably coffered ceilings in the family and dining rooms and arched doorways in the foyer. Formal living and dining rooms flank the gracious entry and the open kitchen-family room, with huge quartzite island, spans the rear of the house. French doors lead to the stone terrace with wood-burning fireplace overlooking the professionally landscaped level yard abutting Darien Land Trust. A private office with built-ins is tucked away behind the mudroom, a perfect work-from-home setup. Upstairs, the primary suite features a tray ceiling, his & hers walk-in closets, bathroom with soaking tub, separate shower, and hand-crafted cabinetry. The four secondary bedrooms are all en-suite and have generous closet space. A vaulted-ceiling bonus room completes the second floor. Updates include an additional 1200 sq.ft. of living space in the lower level including a bedroom, bathroom, kitchenette and expansive playroom, integrated Control4 panels in the kitchen and primary suite which manage the 16-zone home theater system, climate and security, custom organizational system with workbench in the over-sized heated garage, additional parking for five cars in the driveway, and a whole-house generator. Located near Tokeneke School, train station, shops and restaurants in both Darien and Rowayton, this home truly has it all.
