The front door.  A very important place to start.  The house has fantastic curb appeal.

You will not believe how charming this 1931 cape is! 4 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, living room, dining room and “screened in porch” all creating a fabulous flow for a party in your new house!  Yes, this is our listing, but we would NEVER lead you on about something as important as a floor plan!  And, yes, the we love the vintage.  This is a SOLID HOUSE! We are very excited to list 60 Gardiner Street.  Asking $1,099,000.  Our first Brokers Open House is Thursday, April 4th. We are taking appointments starting on Thursday at 12;30.  Please call us if you would like to see this fantastic house, convenient to trains, shopping and the beaches.

Generously proportioned foyer leads to dining room on one side...

Love the Viking (dark blue enamel). You absolutely can put a hood on that if you want to.

Love the Viking (dark blue enamel/brass handle). You absolutely can put a hood on that if you want to. Deep counter tops and the island make for excellent cooking space.  Also, the bay window lets in so much light!

 

The Family Room is sun filled and has doors leading to the screened in porch as well as the wrap around deck. I can not emphasize enough how much sunlight you get in this room!

Brokers love to talk about "flat yards".  Well, we've got one for you, and it really is big.  The gardening possibilities here abound!

 How time flies when you blog!

project-milestones

It seems like yesterday when we started working together, driving around town looking at real estate for sale, throwing opinions and thoughts around on everything from shutter construction to gravel driveways and the proper stone wall. We are “wanna be” architects, fabric designers and antique dealers. Looking for the perfect house for a customer, or working with a seller is more than the transaction for us.  It’s the love of all things that go along with owning a home.

So we thought it would be a great idea to start a dialogue – a blog – to throw around and share all the ideas and thoughts we pick up out on the trail. Talking about the houses we love and the details we see that make a house someone’s home, both inside and out.

Here are some of the exciting things that happened at Real in Darien this year:

We averaged 2.5 blogs a week!!!

We ventured into Rowayton as an extension of the Darien market.

We added our consignment page for the love of great secondhand finds.

We realized quickly we live in a community filled with dynamic and extremely talented neighbors and friends. We call them our Local Lusts.

We hosted our first trunk show, featuring Sister Parish, at 593 Hollow Tree Ridge Road.

We met Miles Redd and Jeffrey Bilhuber… highlights of our year!

We have grand goals and big ideas for our second year, including more great content and exciting deals on the horizon. We also have big news to announce….stay tuned!

We are passionate about what we LOVE and we hope our blogs reflect that. Thank you for your support, your “likes” and subscriptions, and your constant encouragement. We have made a few mistakes along the way but are not afraid to to learn from them.  More importantly, we will not let a few critics stop us from trying something new.  We are grateful to our firm, Kelly Associates, for their support and abitlity to see the big picture in this business. We are on this ride for the long haul….enjoying every minute!
