Property Description
Set within the coveted Tokeneke Association, 16 East Trail is a rare legacy property where architectural pedigree meets modern luxury. Originally built in 1908 as one of the enclave's earliest residences, the home reflects the timeless elegance of McKim, Mead & White and Delano & Aldrich-thoughtfully reimagined for today's living. A masterful renovation by architect Peter Pennoyer preserves the home's historic integrity while introducing refined, livable spaces. Interiors by acclaimed designer Katie Ridder bring a fresh yet classic sensibility, blending color, texture, and bespoke detail throughout. The main residence offers 7 bedrooms and 6 full baths, anchored by five fireplaces that add warmth and character across its gracious living spaces. A classic carriage house offers a fully equipped 2-bedroom, 1-bath guest residence with its own kitchen, providing exceptional flexibility-ideal for extended stays, in-law living, or a private home office retreat. The grounds, designed by renowned landscape architect Janice Parker, are a true highlight-lush, structured, and beautifully layered for year-round interest. An in-ground saltwater pool completes the estate-like setting, creating a private retreat perfect for both entertaining and quiet enjoyment. Rich in history and elevated by a world-class design team, 16 East Trail offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Darien's architectural legacy-seamlessly tailored for modern living.
