Beautifully sited at the end of a private lane, this timeless shingle and stone home was designed by noted architect Thompson Raissis. Custom-built to the highest standards, it is the perfect home for living and entertaining, indoors and out.  Adjacent to Land Trust property, the home overlooks 2 level acres of gardens with mature plantings, stone patios, and a contemporary rim flow pool - all of which light up and glow in the evening! Well-proportioned rooms feature fine details throughout: High ceilings, custom millwork, plenty of built-ins, 4 indoor fireplaces, 2 home offices, radiant heat tile floors, and an extensive audio / visual set up with speakers throughout the house, pool, and outdoor living spaces. At the heart of the home is a large gourmet kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances and custom cabinetry.  Formal living room, library, family room, dining room, butler's pantry, mudroom, and 2 half baths on the main floor.  Upstairs, you will find 6 bedrooms and 4 full baths, including a primary bedroom suite with French doors leading out to a private terrace, a large recreation / playroom, office, and laundry room with 2 sets of washers & dryers.  Walk-in closets and built-in storage abound.  Finished basement with gym and half bath, and an oversized 3 car garage with lift to accommodate 4 cars complete the plan.  High & dry elevation - A true private oasis in a prime Darien location.
