Along the storied Five Mile River, in Darien, Connecticut, a beautifully remodeled 1810 colonial cottage offers the perfect waterside retreat that rests the mind and soothes the soul. Recently updated with exacting attention to detail and craftsmanship, this home offers a unique mix of warmth and quiet sophistication. Walls of windows flood every inch of this carefully curated sanctuary with the most amazing light as well as offering the peaceful views of the water across the way. The first floor flows seamlessly from room to room, yet can offer many places for gathering, unwinding, and relaxing.The eat-in kitchen, with a cozy breakfast nook and bay window, allows for the enjoyment of the beautifully transformed gardens. French doors throughout dissolve the boundary between interior and exterior, opening onto a flagstone patio and a newly re-imagined landscape. On the first floor, an office with an ensuite bathroom offers flexibility as a fourth bedroom, a guest suite, or a private work-from-home space. Upstairs the 3 bedrooms are oriented towards the serene and ever-changing Five Mile River, its boats, its shifting light, its wildlife, its seasons. Waking up here is its own daily pleasure. The exterior of the house has been totally re-worked and updated with new shingles, trim, railings, and custom light fixtures. A two-car garage completes the offering. Elevated on the property, the home carries no flood insurance requirement. In a market where genuine character is scarce and true craftsmanship scarcer still, this is a find of a different order. It is a place of warmth, beauty, and rare intentionality, a bespoke home on one of Darien's most cherished and iconic waterways.
