Beautifully sited on 4+ private acres is a spectacular 1930 Georgian stone manor home with every amenity one could wish for. “Laurel Hill” was designed by renowned architect William Lawrence Bottomley. This 7,200 sq ft, 7 bedroom home has been thoughtfully expanded and renovated in recent years, sparing no expense to maintain architectural integrity while striking the perfect balance of old world charm and modern day living. The park-like grounds include a heated pool, lighted sports and paddle tennis courts, stone terraces, exquisite gardens, and outdoor entertaining spaces to accommodate intimate gatherings or large scale entertaining. The interior boasts high ceilings and distinguished original moldings throughout, with a seamless blend of gracious formal rooms and casual living spaces. The gourmet kitchen is anchored by two family rooms and a butler’s pantry that leads to the formal dining room and living room. There are two separate bedrooms on the first floor, perfect for guests or au pair. Upstairs, you will find the primary bedroom with sitting room and two separate baths, 4 additional bedrooms, and a large bonus room. Convenient to downtown Darien, schools, and beach. Rare is the opportunity to find a property with everything “Laurel Hill” can offer with endless days of entertainment ahead!
