More fabulous inventory!
Wednesday, March 23, 2016What a treat to have more new listings that are equally appealing yet so different. And, on opposite sides of town which reinforces how great all the neighborhoods are here in Darien.
Hallelujah! The Connecticut Colonial is not entirely dead and gone to the massive, new construction Darien has seen so much of in the last ten or fifteen years (not that we haven’t liked a few of the new houses). 11 Point O’Woods is that charming Connecticut Colonial. Very authentic and lovely. Very well taken care by its owners who clearly understand how to combine chic and charm. Great wall paper and fabric throughout the house gives you all the “new” you need! Love this house. Listed by Halstead, asking $1,795,000. Four bedrooms, four and one half baths, situated on about an acre. LISTING CANCELLED
11 Point O’Woods. Built in 1938, the house is sited on a beautiful piece of property.
Big gracious living room with beautiful original details still intact. Kept thinking about how Meg Braff would pull this together for someone – always important to remember their stuff won’t be here when you move in! Meg has some great wall paper and furniture, and she has a knack for pulling together a classic look without making it look matronly. As House Beautiful states, she pulls it together so that “family heirlooms and bold gestures are right at home”. Her shop is easy to get to in Locust Valley or check out her web site.
Gorgeous color in the Den. There are some fabulous fabrics out there for this room. In fact, the whole house feels fresh and lovely with color that you could really make your own.
The Conservatory… or the much loved sunroom. Loving the glossy ceiling!
121 Leroy also just came on – listed by Linda Malpass – and it’s a fabulous “in town” option. Perfectly situated to walk to restaurants, the Darien train station, and Tilly Pond Park. Renovated, fresh and ready to go with a terrific back yard. A perfect house to get your feet wet here in Darien. Four bedrooms, two and one half baths Asking $1,275,000. SOLD
121 Leroy Avenue. A great spot in town.
Sunny and chic. The downstairs has a nice circular flow.
So many windows! And their furniture looks terrific here in this room. I was thinking about that young designer Graham Veysey of Good Bones Design as I was walking through this house. Such a perfect palate for her to come in and create her magic. Check out her website. She is building a very nice portfolio.
Open kitchen and dining is very appealing.
Easy entertaining off the living room.
Wonderful back yard so close to town! You are sort of getting a little bit of everything here: Colonial house that is renovated with four bedrooms and a big back yard!
Lots to see out there. If you are interested in going out and looking, call us. We would love to show you some of the great inventory on the market now.

On top of Briar Brae
Thursday, February 21, 2013Classic Connecticut colonial is what comes to mind when you think about real estate in Darien. 19 Briar Brae delivers just that. SO tidy, SO nicely set up, and and a BRAND NEW FAB MASTER BATH! (We haven’t seen one of these since Oak Park). The light was pouring in throughout the house on the morning I saw it. Yes, even in January/February you feel the light streaming in. The house sits high on the hill, and has a terrific FLAT yard. Consider this 4 bedroom 3 1/2 bath house if you want something absolutely move-in ready. Asking $1,749,000. Listed by Ellen McCue at Kelly Associates. THIS PROPERTY HAS AN ACCEPTED OFFER AND IS NOT BEING SHOWN.
Top O’Hill. I can see a coat of Tennis Court White and some pale ocean green shutters. Check out Farrow & Ball’s new colors this season.
There are a lot of nice details to work with, including the arched doorway into the living room.
Its a bright red, but what would Mary McDonald do? A little black, a little orange, a little chinoiserie chic! And, note the arched door here.
This is a nice clean palate to work with for some great decorating. I was recently reminded how fabulous Brunschwig’s “La Portugaise” is. Might look great in this room. A classic that lives on. Thank you Albert…
Fabulous size for a master bedroom. The fireplace is a nice detail, but what’s really important is the master bath that is brand new. It’s so new it wasn’t ready for the photos! I saw the space. It’s great!
Oh yes, the flat back yard! The stone wall is another detail not to be over looked.
One of the three other bedrooms. Each is in tip top shape, very tidy, very ready for all those toys (I saw absolutely no hand marks or crayon marks on the walls. WOW!)
The “great” room, off the kitchen. Meg Braff has some gorgeous wall papers that would look fabulous in this room. She’s got one called Sporting D’ete that would be perfect. The double doors lead out to the terrace.
The kitchen is in great shape and is a good working space for someone who likes to cook. One of those Oomph lanterns would look amazing here!
It so rare to find a place that you can just move into and start decorating. The possibilities are endless. The other bonus here is that it is a straight shot up to New Canaan’s Waveny Park, and Elm Street shopping. Kind of nice to have Darien’s conveniences and New Canaan so easily accessible.
The Spring market is heating up so get a move on! Check this one out if you are looking for a house with lots of space (and bathrooms! there are 3 1/2!).
If you would like to see this house, please call us. We would love to show it!
