Let’s here it for Spring… and a new listing that we are jumping up and down about.  LOVE LOVE this ‘new to market’ house, situated on a level acre on the back end of Peterick Lane.  If you are looking for charm, quirky, and a gorgeous newly renovated kitchen – oh and did I mention TONS of sunlight – this may be what you have been waiting for.  Came on today at $1,645,000. It has four bedrooms, two and a half baths and a total of about 3300 square feet. First ‘brokers open’ is today (Tuesday, March 10) so unless you are on another agent’s blast, you are hearing it here first! Listed by HoulihanLawrence/Darien.  SOLD AND CLOSED.

It warms my heart when I walk into a house that is unpredictable. Seemingly “cottage” like from the outside, it’s absolutely spacious as you make your way from sun lit from to sun lit room. A gorgeous new kitchen and extra large great room in the back is where you will spend most your time.

Brand new kitchen with exceptionally think counter tops (love that). It is a very pretty yet chic kitchen.

Top of the line cabinetry and appliances of course.

A very fabulous space where everyone will convene.

The rest of the house takes on a very Sweedish feeling.  Light paints, simple lines, wide floorboards. It feels like you float through from room to room.

The formal living room will be a great gathering spot for 'grown up' evenings.

This room would make a lovely library, or smaller sitting room with a television.

I kept thinking about Penny Morrison and Caroline Irving and how they would decorate this house.  I have visions of all those gorgeous textiles and textures throughout this house.  Simple walls, not a lot of wall paper, but some of those unparalleled combinations they create.  Check out the sites pennymorrison.com and irvingandmorrison.com

There are four bedrooms. Each as a ton of sunlight.

Let us know.  We would love to show this little gem.  Even if you are not in the market, this just might be what you didn’t know you were looking for!

 

 

If you are currently working with an agent, this is not a solicitation.

Despite the long winter, we have been putting our snow boots on and taking the snow banks head on.  The spring market started early for us with 2 signed contracts, 1 listing to be launched this spring, and numerous other deals in the works.

While overall we are still not thrilled with the inventory numbers, we are making progress.  More homes are starting to come on and even some bidding wars to go along with them (topping the list is 10 Christie Hill…flew on and off so quickly, if you went out to shovel you missed it) .

37 Stephanie Lane, 3700 square feet of light and views.

37 Stephanie Lane is a beautifully appointed 4 bedroom home.  It has a deck that spans the back of the house and numerous  doors and windows to take advantage of the sunsets the site offers. Listed at $2,285, 000 through Houlihan Lawrence.

If you are ready to plunge into spring, give us a call. With daylight savings and 50 degree weather forecasted for next week, it will be here before we know it.
