Property of the Week, 24 Colony Road,Darien Real Estate

From time to time there are homes for sale in the Darien CT real estate market that simply confound the Darien Realtors .The other day I walked through such a  home which, for some reason, simply has not sold despite it being a great deal.

The house is located at 24 Colony Road in Darien which is a premier street and beautiful neighborhood.Kids are everywhere,the neighbors all know each other and its probably a mile to the Noroton Heights train station as well as shopping.One of the towns great recreational resources,Woodland Park is practically in the backyard! Typically, when homes come on the market on Colony Road,multiple offers are not far behind.

24 Colony is a classic colonial,and has over 2600 sq ft of beautiful space.There is a charming built- in corner cabinet in the dining room and has it has other vintage details as well.Sited on .25 acres with 4 bedrooms and three and one half baths it is a great family house.

The home is in great condition although it’s true  that it could use some updating.The kitchen and baths need some improvements, but not major overhauls, and there is already a large,private master suite at one end of the house that could use some new decorating.But the floors have all been refinished and the property is in lovely condition.The yard may be a bit shallow for some but its fine for barbecues, a swing set and the kids to play. This neighborhood can easily withstand ANY improvements made to the house.Homes on Colony Rd have traditionally been in great demand and have sold upwards of $2million.

Why this house remains on the market is a mystery.That said,today’s,buyer does seem to favor homes that are completely redone.However, at this price, on Colony Road in Darien($1.350,000)  this residence provides a good, old fashioned opportunity for customization and appreciation.

24 Colony Road is an UNCLAIMED JEWEL on the market in Darien.
