The home at 213 Rowayton Ave. peers down over Five Mile River, an inlet separating the village of Rowayton and the town of Darien. The five-bedroom, two-and-a-half bath, waterfront home is sunlit all year round, offering sunset views and an abundance of surrounding coastal wildlife. The residence rests high above the water, yet still boasts 238 feet of direct waterfront access, as well as a deep water dock.
“This home presents the ultimate waterfront lifestyle,” said Darien agent Andrea Kostanecki, who represents the home. “Its features and amenities are simply magnificent, with superb panoramic views to match.”
