Welcome to Darby Lane, an extraordinary property named for its sprawling acreage and the abundance of deer and wildlife that roam year-round. Situated on approximately 39 acres with 600 ft of frontage, Darby Lane was designed by renowned architect Jack Arnold and constructed in 2005 by the present owners. This luxurious 6,000 square foot English Country Estate features 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. The jaw-dropping great room, with its vaulted ceiling and custom Rumford fireplace, sets the stage for grandeur. Overlooking the great room is an opulent chef’s gourmet kitchen, equipped with luxury Viking and Bosch appliances, integrated John Boos butcher blocks, and a 12.5-foot cherry marble island with carved legs. The kitchen also boasts a walk-in pantry and a hand-shaped limestone tiled floor. Designed for entertaining, the stunning sunken dining room seats 18 and faces a private courtyard. The reclaimed local wood-clad ceiling, brick masonry wall, and custom-mounted Moet & Chandon champagne riddling racks add to the room's unique ambiance. Oversized single-hung windows envelop the room, allowing for enhanced summer dining. A mudroom with granite tiles and a private powder room with hand-shaped limestone tiles and copper sink complete the main floor. Upstairs, a generous loft overlooking the great room serves as a library and office space, offering a quiet retreat. Above the garage, an in-law or nanny suite with a separate entrance features a gas fireplace, a walk-in closet, and a 3-piece bath. The lower level, with 9-foot ceilings, hosts a bedroom, bathroom, rec room, bar, and gym. Outside, the 12’x20’ heated saltwater pool, surrounded by manicured gardens and pool house, completes this idyllic setting. Hidden just west of the residence is a 3,000 sq ft heated steel-clad building, which could serve as storage, a horse barn, or a pickleball court, providing versatility to meet various needs.Darby Lane offers an ideal retreat for those seeking a distinguished lifestyle.
