In the heart of Darien, where history lingers and owls whisper through the trees, stands a timeless 1800s home at 561 Middlesex Road - a place where memory breathes and dreams take root. Set upon 2.6 serene and level acres, yet close to all amenities, this enchanting farmhouse rests within a world of quiet beauty, where a secret garden path winds softly beneath the shade, inviting you to wander, reflect and simply be. Rich with the echo of generations, this home opens its doors to warmth and welcome with its wide plank floors, worn smooth by countless footsteps, that guide you through rooms that glow with quiet charm - from the parlor's embrace to the dining room's gentle light. At its heart lies a light-filled, open-plan kitchen, where aromas mingle with laughter and recipes become the language of love and memory, all while uniting you with the outdoors. A great room, crowned with exposed beams and centered by a wood-burning hearth, promises long evenings of conversation, storytelling and shared delight. A cozy den invites quiet moments with a favorite book, while a cheerful playroom offers a world of imagination for the young at heart. With four inviting bedrooms and 3.5 baths, this home offers space for family and friends alike. Offered furnished or unfurnished. Prefer long-term lease but will consider shorter lease.
