Nantucket colonial offers open floor plan and great flow

Built in 2012, this wondrous and spacious Nantucket colonial is in one of Dariens most desirable neighborhoods in the Tokeneke school district.

Private and full of light, the best feature of this home - which has four bedrooms and 2 baths - is its open floor plan, according to listing agent Caroline Hanley of Halstead Connecticut.

I just love the open floor plan, the updated finishes and the flow of the house, Hanley said.

The white home - which is professionally landscaped, has flowering trees and sits on a cul-de-sac - has had many recent updates and improvements.

They include hardwood floors put down in August, newly painted garage doors, a new dishwasher put in this month, the house being power washed in September and the master bedroom being freshly painted. In the dining room, the light fixtures were put in two years ago, and the kitchen was updated in 2019.

The living room was painted white last year.

The home - which is 2,250 square feet and sits on 0.54-acres - has a basement for storage, a main level, second level and hatch attic.

Address: 3 Wakeman Road, Darien

Price: $1.495 million

Rooms: 7

Features: Includes new hardwood floors, newly painted garage doors, a new dishwasher, newly power washed and fresh paint in the master bedroom. In addition, the kitchen was updated in 2019.

Schools: Tokeneke Elementary, Middlesex Middle and Darien High School.

To the left of the foyer on the main level is the two-car garage and powder room.

To the immediate right of the foyer is a nice-sized living room and fireplace converted from regular wood to a gas fireplace.

In the front of the living room, Hanley said, is the formal dining room with big, beautiful windows that looks on out to the trees. There are also nice moldings.

Travel from the dining room to the walk-in eat-in kitchen.

The kitchen, Hanley said, has a big island that can seat five people comfortably. It also boasts stainless-steel appliances including GE Monogram. The kitchen also has new backsplash, a newly installed dishwasher, shiplap ceiling and updated new countertops.

The second level, Hanley said, has a 19-by-16 master suite with walk-in closet and brand-new carpet. The grey bathroom, she said, has two sinks and a big shower. The bathroom was completely redone two years ago.

There are three other bedrooms on that level and one full bath. The laundry is also located on the second level.

We do have plans if the buyer wants to add a third floor, Hanley noted.

There is also another patio in the backyard. In addition, she said, there is a brand-new irrigation system put in during the summer.

There is insulation throughout the house and a generator was installed in 2018. A hot water system was also put in that year.

The house, Hanley said, is energy efficient and offers Energy Star appliances and a programmable Thermostat sprinkler system.

The neighborhood, Hanley said, holds many events. They include block parties, trick-or-treating and holiday parties. There are 19 homes on the street and its a great street to walk dogs or see kids riding on their bikes, Hanley added.
