About This Home

As of April 2025

Nestled in the heart of one of Darien's most coveted neighborhoods, 5 Fox Hill Lane is a remarkable residence that is not to be missed! Upon entering, you are greeted by a gracious foyer with a vaulted ceiling, which bathes the space in natural light and creates a smooth flow into the rest of the home. The kitchen and family room, two of the most utilized spaces in the home, do not disappoint. This expansive open-concept area features an island with counter seating, a spacious eat-in area, and a family room with a vaulted ceiling and a stunning gas fireplace. There are five generously sized bedrooms, including the primary suite, which offers a peaceful retreat complete with a gas fireplace and French doors leading out to the terrace and flat backyard. Extras include a private office with a gas fireplace and a spacious finished playroom with additional office space and a large storage space. Outside, you'll find your own private oasis. The new stone terrace, built-in grill, and wood firepit make it the perfect setting for al fresco dining and relaxation. The two and a half car garage provides plenty of additional storage space. Mechanical upgrades include a new HVAC system and hot water heater. Additional improvements feature fully refinished wood floors throughout the house, a refurbished front portico, and a new driveway. This prime location offers easy access to Darien's top-rated schools, charming downtown, and coastal amenities.
