Live In A Contemporary Piece of Art Ever walk through the Museum of Modern Art and marvel at, not only the exhibitions, but the brilliant design and awe-inspiring structure of the building? The modern architecture, the sleek details and clean lines, the soaring windows with sunlight pouring in, the building itself is a breathtaking piece of art. So, what does the MOMA have to do with Darien, Connecticut, you ask? Well, a stunning home has hit the market that shares an interesting connection to the architecture of the renowned museum. 614 Hollow Tree Ridge Road in Darien, CT was designed and built in 1937-1938 by Edward Durrell Stone, just one year before he began work on the Museum of Modern Art. His craftsmanship and architectural touch are evident in the elegant lines and the open, dramatic spaces of the interior. Much like the MOMA, this home is itself a piece of art. Completely renovated in 2005-2008, the house has cool white walls and natural stone and glass tiles, all contrasted with natural sycamore and pale oak. Design elements like frosted glass doors divide space and allow for warm, natural light. The home has extraordinary capacity for entertaining, there is a large, open kitchen with a cozy dining banquette area, and the dramatic 30-foot living room with a fireplace and cathedral ceiling is the perfect space for large parties or intimate gatherings. Other features include a large master suite with spacious area for a home office and an additional private suite with a separate entrance. The property slopes gently down to the back where there is a lovely open deck overlooking a newly renovated pool. The plantings surrounding the home are mature with graceful slate paths and a patio. You will absolutely love the international style, sophisticated loft-like feel, and the benefits of small-town life in beautiful Darien, CT that this home offers. Follow the link for more information on this lovely home, including photos, a virtual tour, and a map of the area. Home exclusively represented by Eileen Hanford.
