If New England winters to you mean snowy forests or visuals akin to Noah Kahan’s ‘Stick Season,’ a pricey offering in Darien may be quite the surprise. Set on the Connecticut coast, it provides a completely different setting for holiday spirit that is just as classic, quintessentially New England. Asking $11.995 million, this grand spot could serve as the best present this season for those with an extreme gift budget, or no gift budget at all.
Sat at the end of Pratt and Nash Island, this home enjoys endless water views and its own dock on the Long Island Sound. A gated entrance leads to the 9,000-square-foot, three-level home. Designed by Cardello Architects, who has completed high-end projects all across Fairfield County, it is full of tasteful touches and style.
The layout is generous, vast, and completely timeless. Behind the foyer sits the living room, dining room, and kitchen, each finished with the finest finishes. The large kitchen is anchored by a central kitchen island, perfect for entertaining friends and family with the water always in the background. Harnessing the location’s beauty, the interiors play with a palette of cool blues and whites to keep the atmosphere harmonious and serene.
The staircase—bringing you to the private rooms upstairs—is a stunning focal point with cascading light dripping all the way down. Follow it up to the primary suite. Sat in the tower of the home, windows all around illuminate the bedroom, while dual vanities and a spa-like bathroom look out onto the water. There are four more bedrooms throughout the residence, too.
Jennifer Leahy of Douglas Elliman holds the sophisticated listing.
