Within the affluent Tokeneke Association in Darien, a circa-1928 estate is on the market for the first time in a half a century asking $9,350,000. The sisters who inherited the waterfront home completed a full restoration of the nearly 10,000-square-foot interiors before putting it on the market, donating nearly two acres to the Darien Land Trust in the process.
The restoration of Round Meadows, as its called, preserved the original architectural details while updating the kitchen and all mechanicals throughout the now seven-bedroom home. The result feels more transitional and fresh, yet the home’s nearly 100-year-old grandeur is still palpable.
It sits on 5.5-acre grounds that feature a winding private drive, gorgeous gardens and stone terraces. Steps from the shore, it provides classic, New England luxury. For those interested, Robin Stineman of William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty holds the listing.
