The town of Darien occupies a prime spot along Connecticut’s Golden Coast. Stretches of trees blanket the lush landscape with a canopy of green. Parks and summer sports camps are abundant. Public beaches line the waterfront. Views take in the Long Island Sound.
Yet, it’s close enough to New York City to be considered a bedroom community for those who commute by train. Two stations link the wealthy community to the Grand Central Terminal.
The newly built two-story is surrounded by mature trees on nearly 1.25 acres of grounds. (THE HIGGINS GROUP PRIVATE BROKERAGE)

Set in the serene Delafield Island neighborhood is a newly constructed custom home by Norwalk-based K&C Builders. Designed by long-established PB Architects, the modern farmhouse Colonial occupies more than an acre lot on a quiet cul-de-sac.
A steep gabled roof, shed-style dormer windows above the three-car garage and a long front porch define the front of the house. The gray façade, with horizontal slats on the main part of the house and vertical planks on the garage portion, is highlighted by white trim. Stonework grounds the house to the site.
