Within Darien’s prestigious Tokeneke Association, a dazzling property sited on a peaceful stretch of water awaits. Newly listed for $5,975,000, the original Valspar family home is an effortless mix of traditional sophistication and crisp, brightening updates.
From the exterior, it’s easy to see the care put into designing this home to exude feelings of warmth and tranquility. There’s nothing quite like a gambrel roof and palladian windows to bring out that quintessential Connecticut feel. On the backside of the home is a beautiful porch, made for relaxing and listening to the river flow by.
Built in 1905, this home embodies quintessential New England living but has a bit of a unique twist—the interior is all-white with furnishings and decorations adding pops of color, creating the perfect canvas for the new owners to add their own decor. The home spans over 4,800 square feet and sits on over an acre, making it an ideal Fairfield County forever home or a prime opportunity for a city dweller in need of quiet and space.
The home’s recent reimagination spared no expense, bringing cozy living spaces and a beautiful chef’s kitchen to fruition. For those looking to enhance their cooking, the stunning kitchen is anchored around a central wood island, while top-of-the-line appliances offer a seamless experience.
There’s a total of six bedrooms and six bathrooms across the home’s interior, although the new buyers may opt to spend as much time outside before the summer comes to a close. After all, it’s easy to paddle board out to Ziegler’s Cove or the lighthouse.
For those interested in dreamy and posh Darien living, Liz Beinfield and Jennifer Farnum of Compass holds this listing.
