About this home

Escape to your own private waterfront sanctuary at this hidden gem on Holly Pond, where relaxing on a back porch with a gentle breeze as the sun sinks into the water is your daily reality. Seamlessly designed for effortless entertaining and coastal living, the main level features a formal dining room and a fully renovated chef's kitchen (2021). The spacious living room, anchored by a cozy fireplace, and a light-filled three-season sunroom offer breathtaking water views, spilling out onto the updated porches (2023)-the perfect vantage point to look out over the beautiful yard and gardens leading to the water. Upstairs, you will find three bedrooms and a dedicated home office, highlighted by a primary bedroom that serves as a private oasis with an expansive second-floor porch and unforgettable, panoramic vistas. Outdoor living is truly unmatched here, boasting 65 feet of direct, prime waterfrontage on Holly Pond complete with a private dock (2021) and a brand-new roof (2026), making this home as turn-key as it is beautiful. Whether you are taking a boat cruise, launching a kayak, or enjoying an evening by the water, this property offers a seamless lifestyle. As part of the coveted Noroton Manor association, you'll enjoy exclusive amenities including tennis courts and private beach access, all paired with unbeatable proximity to downtown Darien, local beaches, the YMCA, Metro-North, and top-rated schools. Welcome home to the ultimate coastal lifestyle!
