Ce que vous allez adorer dans ce logement
Our home is a gorgeous expansive house nestled amongst classic tall trees of Connecticut. The property is one acre. I Iisted the square footage as 5700 but that's probably an underestimate (let's say 550 sq m to use metric and of course, that does not include the large and very usable basement area).
There are two terraces, one with an outdoor gas fire table and heat lamps, and the other a fire pit. The house is set back from the street and exceptionally quiet. Inside on the main floor, you'll find a huge open kitchen area, a sun-drenched family room with high ceilings whose terrace doors open onto the deck and the garden, a formal dining area, a separate playroom, an office come guest room, and another bedroom.
The upper floor contains a large master complex with an adjacent library/TV room as well as a separate area where two bedrooms (both en suite) are adjoined by yet another play area. If your kids need even more room, they'll find a table tennis table area in the basement and two other finished areas also, currently occupied in part by a large family of American Girl dolls.
If you wish to exercise inside there is a treadmill and a simulated cycling setup on the first floor, and a leg-weight machine in the basement.

Ce que vous allez adorer dans le quartier
Darien is a premier commuting suburb for New York City so getting there isn't an issue. My wife and I spent about 15 years exploring that town so I doubt you'll run out of things to do. A 45-minute drive takes you to Lincoln Center (Metropolitan Opera) or other Upper West Side attractions. It's the same for the Upper East Side (Metropolitan Museum, Central Park et cetera). I'd add 15-25 for West Villiage, Downtown, East Villiage.
I often prefer the train. The comfortable Metro-North service from Noroton Heights, Darien, or Glenbrook stations is usually on time. This puts you at Grand Central Station in around 50 minutes.
Darien is also a good jumping-off point for exploring the North East. It is a 3 hr straight shot up to Boston, or a beautiful two-hour drive up North to The Berkshires, or North-West to The Catskills, for example. Saratoga Springs is 3 hrs and I'd highly recommend it for racing fans visiting in August.
Slightly longer trips include Montreal (5.5 hrs) or Washington D.C (5 hrs).
Close to home, there are restaurant options in Darien town center (5 mins), Noroton Heights (3 mins), New Canaan (10 mins), Greenwich (15 mins), South Northwalk (15 mins) and Pound Ridge (20 mins). Stamford (10 mins) deserves special mention. There's a bustling bar and restaurant scene.
The town of Darien features two sandy beaches facing the Long Island Sound which you can have all to yourself at the right time of day. Drive our minivan there (a resident beach pass is required) and use our stand-up paddleboard to explore the Sound.
There's a bunch of folks who swim in the sound every morning, which can be absolutely magnificent when the water is glassy. I'll put you in touch.
If you like cycling there are lovely rides through quiet but challenging country roads heading West, or you may prefer to wind along the roads close to the Sound. It's a nice area for running too and you'll find motorists far more considerate than in Sydney. Aussies will be surprised to learn there is an all-ages regular touch football game 2 minutes away at one of the Darien parks on Saturday afternoons!
I suppose I don't have to mention that there are numerous high-quality public golf options available too - perhaps the fanciest close by being the Pete Dye course at Pound Ridge.
