Description
Historical home just one block from Cathead Creek and the Darien waterfront. Upon entering this home, you are greeted with beautiful hardwood floors, beadboard walls and high ceilings. Just off the foyer you will notice a lovely den with see through fireplace that looks through to the living room. The primary bedroom is spacious and features a nice walk-in closet and ensuite bathroom with single vanity and lovely tile shower. The living/dining and kitchen area are all open and leads to a cozy screened in porch. Additionally, you have a spare bedroom, bathroom and utility room downstairs while upstairs you have a spacious bedroom with ensuite bathroom above the generously sized one car garage. The previous owner purchased the home in 2003 and upon starting renovations it was discovered that the home consisted of two different construction periods. One part of the home appeared to be much older than the other; the front part of the house, consisting of two rooms was the railroad depot which was moved to this site from Richmond Hill prior to 1944. The renovations were completed in December 2003 and much care was taken to preserve the original charm of the home, which is very apparent. This area was part of a Kings Grant dating back to the mid 1700s. No homes were built in this western section of Darien prior to 1871. Form 1820-1912 the property was used as a staging area for the Upper Bluff timber mill, this mill was located on what is now called River Rd. With this home you will own your own piece of Darien history that we are so richly blessed with.
