Property Description
For sale is a builder's own home in the original Carriage Way West subdivision of prestigious Carriage Greens Country Club and Golf Course in Darien. Designed and built by its owner in 1975, this brick and cedar-sided home has a unique floor plan consisting of four large bedrooms upstairs and a fifth on the main floor. Each second-floor bedroom has a large walk-in closet; MBR has an additional linen closet and skylit full bath including a soaker tub. A full skylit bath with walk-in shower sits off the bedroom hall. Entering the front door you'll find two huge coat closets, a spacious living room and attached large dining room, a big cook's kitchen with lots of cabinets, counter space and a big breakfast area. There is a huge 20'x21 'family room with two large closets, beamed ceiling, powder room and brick wood-burning fireplace with gas starter, patio door and windows. The kitchen features six windows with a large stained glass panel of the owner's crafting, built-in custom pantry cabinets, planning desk, butler's pantry area and huge walk-in pantry storeroom adjacent to the kitchen. There is a luxuriously large laundry room space next to the kitchen with double sink tubs, another big closet, space for folding laundry and a back door opening to a large back porch connected to multi-level decks and brick patio off the family room. The entire house is well-lit with Pella casement windows and patio door. Oak doors, solid oak base and trim and custom oak stairs feature in this master carpenter's home. Full, two-level basement area consists of two-zone furnace and brand new 5-ton AC coil/condenser, Google Nest thermostats situated in family room and MBR. Honeywell humidifier, electronic air filter, ejector and sump pumps, workbench and lots and lots of built-in shelves for maximum storage feature in this huge lower level. There's enough room for a pool table in the non-mechanical level of the basement as well. There are two lower-level staircases; one with access from the family room and another from the garage. The two and a half car garage is much larger than 2 1/2. There is a recent steel garage door with EDO and keypad, windows and service door in the very deep garage that can act as a tandem, once holding a van and two cars. Pull-down stairs give access to a huge attic of the same footprint size of the garage below with unobstructed storage area; all stick construction with no trusses. This is a great house for entertaining. The large circular driveway can park many cars and there is lots of wood deck space in the back yard, two apple trees and a grape arbor, water feature and big kitchen garden with the finest amended soil for growing great vegetables. In the front yard is a rarity; a pawpaw tree that bears tropical-type fruit. The property also features 45-year old spruce trees and a large mature oak tree. Next to the driveway is a concrete footing and base of a basketball upright. This home has been well-loved by its original family for 50 years and has had minimal updates. The owners will provide the buyer with a full set of original architectural blueprints and mechanical prints to facilitate your remodeling and updating endeavors.
