Out on the Trail

5 Salem Straits, built in 1919, this is a must see for anyone who is looking for a very special property in Darien.

5 Salem Straits. A true gem in a fabulous location. One of our favorite houses on the market. Asking $3,795,000. Offered by Maggie Marchesi at Kelly Associates

We had a few Open Houses that proved well worth the visit this week. Some of the homes that separated themselves from the pack were 4 Hoyt Court (SOLD at $999,999 – 7/14) a nice renovation on a sweet street. 21 Brush Island – an unbelievable piece of property with trees that take one hundred years to become what they are now, as well as a fantastic view over looking Holly Pond. Since we sold 25 and 27 Brush Island we think it will be very interesting to watch this part of Darien transform. Another piece of land we “walked” was 203 Long Neck Point. A sweeping 4.8 acre lot overlooking Long Island Sound that presents itself as a unique opportunity to own privacy and gorgeous views that would cost you a lot more in Greenwich (pretty sure about that). Unfortunately this parcel is also an opportunity for a developer since it is easily subdivided. Let’s hope that doesn’t happen. There are enough houses down on the end of Long Neck as it is. Lastly, a house at the top of our list as a “house we love”, 86 Greenleaf (SOLD at $2,200,000 – 7/14). A sensational 1926 house with fabulous bones and potential that comes with a gorgeous piece of property. The listing price will make any renovation worth every penny.

50 Hanson Road is a sensational house that has been renovated in the last four years. Bathrooms are beautiful, the property is flat and private, and you really get a feeling that Slim Aaron is documenting life as you walk in to the living room that over looks the pool. The kitchen has been renovated and includes top of the line appliances but keeps with the 1950’s grove. This house has a ton of space, and if you are one of the few in Darien that will take a leap and live in a mid-century modern, this is your chance. A Very Cool House. Five bedrooms, five and a half baths, and about 6000 square feet asking $3,100,000. Offered through RealtyQuest by Vanda Baker.

Some fabulous out door furniture would help. And a cabana boy to bring the drinks…

Huge front door and impressive front hall way paves the way to living in a very gracious and chic mid-century modern.

Love Tilton & Fenwick! Inspired 🙂

This example of a project of Tilton & Fenwick's make my imagination run wild with what they could do at 50 Hanson!

50 Hanson is a fantastic palate for Tilton & Fenwick

Stairs leading to the Master Wing. Dressing rooms, enormous bath and private study allow someone total privacy from the rest of the house.

Beautiful, sleek and very easy kitchen for a family living and fabulous parties.

The Mud Room. Big enough for a lot more storage!

35 Hazel Street, completed in 2014, is actually under contract but the builder, Carl Goodnow (also a Kelly agent) had an open house for all brokers to show his work. There was no doubt that it would be beautiful, but now we know what to look forward to when he does his next project. Asking $1,945,000 through Kelly Associates. (SOLD at $1,895,000 – 6/14)

35 Hazel. Blazing new tracks for buyers and builders a like on a quite street off West Avenue. 5 bedrooms/5 and a half bath in 4200 square feet of beautiful space.

Ready for your gardening touch and Brine Lax pitch back 🙂

55 Cedar Gate, nestled back in the woods of Cedar Gate Association, will give you a renovated house with lots of nooks and charm. It is the perfect combination of charming and modern amenities. It’s actually an ideal weekend “get away” for all you readers who are looking for something to escape to on the weekends. Four bedrooms/three and a half baths, and approximately 3700 square feet. Asking $1,675,000, offered by Keily Fuller at Kelly Associates. (SOLD at $1,580,000 – 9/14)
