12 Hillcrest Ave, Darien, CT 06820

This is a 4-bedroom customized-Cape Cod home built in 1950 on a beautifully tree-lined road that was recently repaved. One end of the road is closed-off to help deter and minimize vehicle traffic. There is an attractive white vinyl picket fence in the front yard of this home and a beautiful green hedge along the driveway which can accommodate 3-parked cars. The first floor offers a foyer entryway with a coat closet, traditional hardwood floors and doors throughout, plaster walls and ceilings including Crown Molding. There is also a large living room with a beautiful fireplace and customized mantelpiece, a separate formal dining room, bedroom, den, two bathrooms and kitchen on the first floor that overlooks a large backyard and terrace below. One of the bathrooms is a powder room at the end of the hallway, and the other is a completely renovated new bathroom with new sink, toilet and shower including a customized linen closet for towels, personal items and a laundry basket. The second floor consists of a renovated bathroom with a shower and tub, 2 large bedrooms and one medium size bedroom with an adjacent attic with electricity and insulation that could easily be converted into a nice study, guest or TV room. This house also has a large basement that consists of a partially unfinished family room with a fireplace and another large room including a laundry area and tool room that would be ideal for someone who enjoys woodworking. There is also a large backyard that would be ideal for children to play in and for future expansion as a number of neighborhood residents have taken advantage of expanding their homes. As an added bonus, there is a Gault Generator discreetly located in the backyard behind the terrace that came in handy during our last storm and electrical outage when the temperature reached the high 90’s and the humidity could have been unbearable without air-conditioning. This generator has a duplicate electrical panel in the garage which allows you to use many of your home appliances during an electrical storm.
