Call for Availability - In the heart of Darien, where history lingers and owls whisper through the trees, stands a timeless 1800s home at 561 Middlesex Road - a place where memory breathes and dreams take root. Set upon 2.6 serene and level acres, yet close to all amenities, this enchanting farmhouse rests within a world of quiet beauty, where a secret garden path winds softly beneath the shade, inviting you to wander, reflect and simply be. Rich with the echo of generations, this home opens its doors to warmth and welcome with its wide plank floors, worn smooth by countless footsteps, that guide you through rooms that glow with quiet charm - from the parlor's embrace to the dining room's gentle light. At its heart lies a light-filled, open-plan kitchen, where aromas mingle with laughter and recipes become the language of love and memory, all while uniting you with the outdoors. A great room, crowned with exposed beams and centered by a wood-burning hearth, promises long evenings of conversation, storytelling and shared delight. A cozy den invites quiet moments with a favorite book, while a cheerful playroom offers a world of imagination for the young at heart. With four inviting bedrooms and 3.5 baths, this home offers space for family and friends alike. Offered furnished or unfurnished. Prefer long-term lease but will consider shorter lease. MLS# 24138243

Location
Get Directions
Darien is a coastal city in Fairfield County, near the border of Connecticut and New York. Its close proximity to Manhattan (plus local beaches!) makes Darien a great place to call home for those looking for big-city amenities and nightlife in a suburban locale.
The city is considered a “bedroom community” due to its lack of office spaces – meaning, most residents live in Darien but work outside of it like in nearby Stamford or New York City. Two Metro-North subway stations reside in Darien and provide easy travel to Grand Central Terminal or the remaining stops along New Haven Line. If you’re looking for fun, Darien is home to eleven parks, numerous country- and yacht clubs, plus public beaches on the Long Island Sound.
Like other large cities, Darien is divided into smaller subsections. Numerous restaurants surround the Darien Station, including the Melting Pot, Green & Tonic, Bodega Taco Bar, and Meatball & Co. bistro. Love to shop? Small, upscale boutiques thrive here.
