281 West Avenue, Darien, Connecticut 06820

About this home

A rare opportunity to own in the rapidly evolving Noroton Heights neighborhood-where walkability, convenience, and lifestyle converge. Steps from the Noroton Heights train station, restaurants, and everyday conveniences, 281 West Avenue sits at the center of one of Darien's most sought-after and increasingly vibrant areas. This three-bedroom Colonial presents an inviting blend of classic New England character and modern practicality. Hardwood floors, a generous light-filled living room, and a formal dining room create warm, welcoming spaces suited to both everyday living and easy entertaining. The updated kitchen anchors the main level with stainless appliances and a clean, efficient layout. A first-floor sunroom with updated powder room adds a highly usable extension of living space-equally suited as a home office, playroom, or relaxed sitting area. Upstairs, three bedrooms share a renovated full bath. The partially finished lower level provides valuable bonus space-well-suited for a media room, home gym, or dedicated work-from-home setup. Outside, the fenced yard offers ample outdoor space for children, pets, or entertaining. Numerous recent updates have been made to support today's modern, hassle-free lifestyle.

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.
