Asking $7000.00 for rent. Four bedrooms, three full baths and only steps from our beautiful beaches.

Our newest listing has hit the market this week. 25 Nearwater lane, built in 1935, is a traditional colonial that captures everything you can imagine when you think about “going home”.  Big rooms and great “bones”, architectural details (THE STAIRCASE!) and the ever important kitchen where everyone ends up hanging out  – it has it all here. The neighborhood of Noroton Manor offers water access for your boat, and tennis courts. Walking distance to all of that as well as the Blue Ribbon Hindley School. Offered through Houlihan Lawrence. Rented as of 12/1/16

You are not going to find a gracious front hall like this. The staircase says it all.

I immediately thought of the annual House Beautiful Small Spaces issue which is always so inspiring. 496 Hoyt Street should be on the cover of that issue!

8 Laforge

Super charming house on a wonderful neighborhood street. This is a 'feel good home'

Super charming house on a wonderful neighborhood street. Walking distance to train and shopping (yes, really!)

8 Laforge Road stands out with a bright open floor plan and lots of space for entertaining; not something you might expect in a classic colonial house. And, even better is the fantastic garden you see immediately as you walk through the house. An exceptional, landscaped, flat back yard checks the ever important box of “I want a flat yard” that you just don’t find in this price range right now. Four bedrooms, three full baths, lots of natural sunlight (even at tea time) and plenty of closet space. If there was ever a time to look closely at how quality is worth every penny, now is the time!  Asking $1,345,000 offered through Houlihan Lawrence.

Very gracious open feeling throughout the first floor. (Yes, it is always a plus when the owners furnishings are lovely).

A very gracious open feeling throughout the first floor pulls you right into this colonial home.  Cynthia Princi was called in to help re-use, re-upholster, and re-shuffle the owners lovely furniture and special pieces.  The end result is gorgeous and very comfortable.  Check out Cynthia’s website.  You might be inspired to have come help you when you move in here!

The kitchen is really nicely done with touches that you don't see everywhere. For example the counter top is a beautiful piece of cherry wood from the West Coast.

The kitchen is really nicely done with unique detail. For example the island counter top is a stunningly beautiful piece of Curly Cherry, or sometimes called Quilted Cherry, plucked from the deep woods of Oregon and honed by a local wood worker. Love that!

Open to the kitchen, the Family Room feels comfortable yet not a room only for your teens to hang!

Open to the kitchen, the Family Room feels so comfortable and chic.

Look at this beautiful back yard!

Look at this beautiful back garden!  And so much privacy. There is very little inventory that would give you this!

If you are coming out to look at real estate in Darien, or live in the area and would like to go see this lovely house, call us!  We would love to show it to you.
