    What's special

    The risers of the steps leading from the road to 121 Middlesex are inscribed with “White Oak Farm,” welcoming you to one of Darien’s most treasured properties. This pre-1900s farmstead was enlarged circa 1920, and the solid concrete walls that were added make the home virtually draft-free. Charming details abound, from antique-glass windows to original longleaf pine flooring and period appropriate crown moldings. While the home has been meticulously maintained in its historic roots it has also been thoughtfully renovated & modernized for high efficiency. The renovated areas have large, top of the line low-e casement windows bringing tons of sunlight throughout house. Kitchen elements include a butterflied black walnut island made out of a single flitch of wood. A LaCanche duel fuel range w/french top & Liebherr Refrigerator. The downstairs has an easy flow from kitchen to family room with a cozy wood-burning original fireplace. Four light-filled bedrooms including an oversized master suite w/ sitting room round out the upstairs. The large yard is an award-winning gardenscape complete with a low-maintenance koi pond, whimsical red maple treehouse & a built in outdoor Lynx grill with fridge & ice maker. A geothermal heating/cooling system is in place for optimum efficiency. This is a rare opportunity to own a local treasure in a prime location, an easy walk to elementary, middle, and high schools, as well as the train and new Darien Commons shopping center. Not to be missed.
