This Christmas put a contract in your stocking!
Tuesday, November 10, 2015
Catapulting to new levels of “we LOVE this”. White stone pebbles cover the driveway. The approach is stunning.
174 Long Neck Point Road will be the gift this Christmas that keeps on giving. What a spectacular example of “all the rooms you need”. Originally designed by Wadia Associates, this house has been renovated to a truly sophisticated level with a clear understanding of a classic european aesthetic. The quality and the choice of materials here distinguish this house from the other’s on the market today. (In the price range, of course). Four bedrooms, four full and two half baths, sited on one acre, walking distance to Pear Tree Beach and the Boat Club. Asking $4,295,000. Offered through William Pitt/Sothebys in Darien. LISTING HAS EXPIRED. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THIS PROPERTY, PLEASE CALL US.
Just so wonderful here. Shutters are imported from France. The front door is perfection, not to mention the door knocker… yet another heavy weight in this equation.
To give you a sense of the geography. Not a bad spot. See the tile roof?
Front Hall with light and space that stets the tone for the rest of the house. Grand and entirely livable.
Perfectly proportioned dining room with stunning windows and doors made by Tischler. 12 foot ceilings with 9 foot doors… it really makes a big difference. Quality always shines bright.
Entertaining here is not for lightweights. This is a fabulous space for any party. And just look at the doors!
A superior paint job throughout the house stands out.
Beautiful details in a kitchen that will stand the test of time and trend. The mantlepiece was brought over from France, and the Delft tile over the stove is very special. House Beautiful got it right when they named this “kitchen of the month”.
The “eat-in” part of the kitchen, and off to the left are the stairs to the family room. It’s all so civilized.
A beautiful room that can be used for a bedroom or a study. A view facing South West will keep you on the terrace in the early evenings.
We love this master. A square room with beautiful views. And the COLOR! such a beautiful choice for a master.
The bathroom shot (you are asking)? Yes. It’s all in the details -choice of hardware. Simple and classic.
Maze like Gardens that create places to go and enjoy a private setting.
Spectacular point de vue. While our bold and beautiful flag flies high here, there is a moment when you walk out onto the terrace over looking the pool you might be transported to your favorite Mediterranean “hide-away”.
It’s hard to know where you are when you are back here. Although I am sure you are not guessing France, there is such a wonderful european influence back here, and everywhere.
If you are thinking about making a change from the Connecticut classic it is worth taking a look at this very special house. It is a unique opportunity on the market today. You will have the pleasure of living along the Connecticut coast line with all the “je ne said quoi” you want. Call us! We would love to show this exceptional gem.

A collaboration between our seller and her Westport architect, the end result is the ultimate modern, chic farmhouse. Simply gorgeous.

25 Brush Island is situated on a little over one acre with spectacular views of Holly Pond and Long Island Sound.
Luxury and privacy all wrapped into the perfect Darien location
Custom iron front door. Made by Manhattan Iron based in Arkansas (with an office in Brooklyn).
Windows everywhere bring in the light at all times of the day.
Custom color brings out a perfect tone on the floors throughout the house.
Custom millwork and an Asian honed marble for counters and backsplash. It makes an exceptional impact in the kitchen.
Beautiful family room with french doors out to the terraces and pool.
Love this bar with the Moroccan tiles up the entire height of the back wall. The counter is concrete mixed with a custom color.
South West views will bring unparalled sunsets to the Master bedroom.
Actually, you will probably want to soak in the tub and enjoy the views in the Master bath!
The chicest mudroom.
You will spend all your time out on the terrace, either enjoying the fire or dining al fresco. Simply fabulous.
Have you seen this anywhere else in town?
Cocktails anyone?
Down at the beach, and out to the boat. Speed off onto Long Island Sound.
