Haus kaufen in Darien, Connecticut

This beautifully renovated and expanded Cotswold Cottage combines original charm with contemporary features and an open floor plan design. The outstanding architectural details, such as deep set windows, inglenook fireplace in the gracious living room, or the glass ceiling in the inviting English conservatory are endearing aspects of this special, centrally located home. The formal dining room has illuminated display shelves and a butler's pantry equipped with dishwasher and disposal. The spacious kitchen with east and west exposures and a large center island opens to the adjacent family room with fireplace. The large cathedral ceilinged playroom/office/studio above the garage includes built ins, a kitchenette and bath. Many thoughtful details such as the mud room's heated flagstone floor, the soapstone counter and apron sink in the potting room, or the warmth of the gas flames in the family room fireplace will delight the most discerning buyer. The lush yard echoes the interior duality of elegance and informality, with an ample flagstone terrace, formal and informal gardens, a charming shed and many rare specimen trees and shrubs. This wonderful property, at the head of a popular cul de sac, is a true country retreat, yet just a short walk to schools, train or town. Ref: 36478-170524266
