About this home

Steeped in history yet thoughtfully reimagined for modern living, The Barnacle is a beautifully renovated 1910 barn in the heart of Darien. Renovated in 2019, this one-of-a-kind residence blends timeless character with contemporary design. The dramatic great room showcases soaring 30-foot cathedral ceilings, exposed wood beams, an oversized picture window, and a classic fireplace anchoring the open living and dining spaces. The chic kitchen flows seamlessly for effortless entertaining and everyday living. A desirable first-floor primary suite opens directly to the bluestone patio, while two additional bedrooms upstairs include one with a private balcony. Professionally landscaped grounds offer a level lawn, privacy, and inviting outdoor spaces. Enjoy easy access to Darien's vibrant town center, train, and shopping, while nearby Rowayton offers waterfront charm, a weekly farmers market, and the celebrated Shakespeare on the Sound performances.

Listing & sale history

Every time this exact home has come to market in the MLS data this site tracks. Where a sale closed, the recorded sale price is shown; "asking" marks a price the home was listed at rather than what it sold for.

Public record

From the Darien assessor's public property record. These figures describe the property as the town has it on file and can differ from the listing — a finished basement or an addition may not be reflected in the assessor's living area.

Recorded sales

Deed transfers on file with the Darien land records, newest first. These are recordings rather than MLS sales, so they include transfers that were never listed. Nominal and $0 transfers (estate, trust and family conveyances) are excluded.
