A rare opportunity to own in the rapidly evolving Noroton Heights neighborhood-where walkability, convenience, and lifestyle converge.

This three-bedroom Colonial presents an inviting blend of classic New England character and modern practicality. Hardwood floors, a generous light-filled living room, and a formal dining room create warm, welcoming spaces suited to both everyday living and easy entertaining. The updated kitchen anchors the main level with stainless appliances and a clean, efficient layout. A first-floor sunroom with updated powder room adds a highly usable extension of living space-equally suited as a home office, playroom, or relaxed sitting area. Upstairs, three bedrooms share a renovated full bath. The partially finished lower level provides valuable bonus space-well-suited for a media room, home gym, or dedicated work-from-home setup. Outside, the fenced yard offers ample outdoor space for children, pets, or entertaining. Numerous recent updates have been made to support today's modern, hassle-free lifestyle. Located in the award-winning Holmes School district, with Middlesex Middle School, Darien High School, and the town's parks, beaches, and amenities all within easy reach. The new walking path creates easy access to the Noroton Heights train station, 55 minutes to Grand Central. A compelling opportunity to enjoy turnkey living in one of Darien's most desirable neighborhoods.
