A welcoming front porch sets the tone, inviting you into a home that blends timeless charm with modern sophistication.

The master Bedroom features soaring cathedral ceilings and generous closet space. At the rear of the property, an oversized, totally remodeled cottage, with a French door leading to a private garden oasis, offers endless flexibility, whether for working from home, entertaining, or simply relaxing. With its ample lot size, the property also presents exceptional potential for expansion and additional living space. Its prime location is unmatched, just a short walk to the train, Darien Commons, Heights Crossing, and only minutes from beaches, fine dining, shopping, and the newly revitalized Noroton Heights.
