About this home
PLEASE NOTE: Multiple Offers-Highest & Best by 4/26 at 6:00 PM. Welcome home to turn-key, all-brick ranch-style living with 2,559 livable sq ft, including a finished basement and attached 2-car garage, offering 3 bedrooms and 2 fully remodeled bathrooms in the highly sought-after Farmingdale neighborhood of Darien. From the moment you arrive, the inviting covered front porch and striking double front door entry set the tone for what awaits inside. This solidly built, one-level living home is filled with natural light, highlighted by beautiful bay windows, an abundance of expansive windows throughout, and a tubular skylight in the kitchen that brings in soft, natural daylight, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere across the spacious living, dining, and family rooms. A commanding floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace anchors the family room, while gleaming hardwood flooring (2016) enhances much of the main level. The kitchen is thoughtfully designed for both function and style, featuring stainless steel appliances, a stylish backsplash, "built-in" mini-blinds, a pantry closet, and an impressive amount of cabinetry-perfect for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. The primary suite offers its own private, fully remodeled bathroom, while two additional bedrooms share a second updated full bath, both finished with tasteful, modern appeal. Abundant closet space throughout-including dedicated linen and coat closets-adds everyday convenience and organization. All bedrooms and the family room feature 2" wood plantation blinds. The finished 24x31 basement expands your living options with flexible space ideal for recreation, work, or hobbies, along with 865 sq ft of excellent unfinished storage. The attached 2-car garage is equally well-appointed, featuring two suspended storage racks for optimal organization and access to attic storage complete with lighting, offering even more practical space solutions. Step outside to a quiet concrete patio surrounded by mature trees, creating a peaceful retreat at the end of the day. Major updates include a newly installed (2026) roof, gutters, and downspouts with a 30-year warranty; a dual backup sump pump system (2026); a water heater (2018); and a furnace and A/C (2015). Ideally located in a neighborhood known for its wide streets and established setting, you are just blocks from multiple parks, the Darien Swim & Recreation Club, Holly Park, and the Darien Sportsplex, with abundant shopping and dining just minutes away. A rare opportunity to own a turn-key, solidly built, true ranch home in an exceptional location, offering both immediate comfort and lasting value.
