Property Description
Stunning and elegant, this home is sure to win your heart. Located in one of the finest neighborhoods in Darien Before heading inside, check out that curb appeal! Large and well-manicured arborvitae trees offer privacy from the neighbors to the North, and the Modern Farmhouse style double garage doors and window boxes are warm and inviting. The lot naturally invites you towards your left where you'll head up the path towards the front door and past the established hydrangeas and immaculate landscaping. The front porch is perfect for sitting and watching the world go by - and look up at that beautiful wood paneling! Head through the French front doors and into the foyer. The foyer is a hub for the office, living room, upstairs, and first floor hallway. The first floor is a circle. Let's start in the office to the left of the foyer. Go through the French doors and check out those beautiful built-in cabinets. This large office would also make a nice playroom. Go past the stairs and into the cozy, naturally well-lit living room with a brick fireplace and built-in cabinets. Head up one step to the formal dining room. The dining room has so many cool features: a bay window, a cut out wall creating a view of the living room fireplace (with additional storage), patio door leading to the deck, and access to a hallway with built-in cabinets for China, glasses, etc. and a wet bar. Head down that hallway for access to the very large, unfinished basement (with tons of storage) and to the first floor hallway. Across from you is the laundry room and mudroom with access to the 2 car garage. To your left is the kitchen...and what a kitchen it is! You're immediately hit with bright light from the curved windows around the kitchen table. And check out that domed ceiling! With granite countertops, professional grade appliances, tons of cabinets, and an extra countertop perfect for a desk or homework space, you'll never want to leave the kitchen. Pass the half bath to your right and circle back through the foyer to go upstairs. The first 3 bedrooms are clustered in the corner to your left. Let's head right towards the beautifully remodeled full bathroom. Keep going and into a giant bedroom with high ceilings, skylights, loads of closet space and built-ins. This could be used as an extra large bedroom or second floor rec room as it's currently being used. Head down the hall and into the primary suite. The primary bathroom features a large soaking tub, skylight, separate shower, and entry into a large walk-in closet with extra high ceilings. Let's go back downstairs and go into the backyard. There are multiple ways to access the rear of the house. From the front of the house, head down the path to the right past the side garage door and either go up onto the deck or straight into the backyard. From the kitchen, head out the door next between the table and the extra counterspace and onto the deck. From the dining room, head out the sliding door onto the deck. And from the living room, go out the sliding doors and onto the patio and firepit. The backyard is magical with a water feature featuring a small waterfall and stream trickling from South to North. There is a large shed on the South end of the property. All of the land to the West is public but it gives the feel of an extra large backyard since access to this area is difficult for outsiders. It's like your own private park! This house is truly a gem and is waiting for you to call it home.

HUD Foreclosures

HUD foreclosures and VA Foreclosures are some of the best homes to buy when price is part of the equation. As with most Americans, price is always a concern. If not buying the same house for less, why not buy more house for the same dollar invested? When looking for a good deal it is hard to do better than the VA or HUD foreclosures market. The simple truth is that there are just more VA and HUD homes on the market, as they represent such a large number of mortgages that are generated each year. This translates into more foreclosures just by the magnitude of difference between all others comparing to the two largest. The two largest also being government owned and operated means that they have less time to wait to make money back on the home. The FHA is especially known for selling HUD homes for less than the average sales price in a given area. FHA foreclosures represent a fraction of HUD but they are still a significant number of homes and both should be considered. VA (Veterans Administration) and HUD (Housing and Urban Development) have different and unique opportunities for the buyer. Both are often forgiven for the local taxes normally associated with the purchase of a home (this is on a county by county basis). Be sure to ask the local title company or escrow company to look into it for you before closing as this is often missed due to their are not used to dealing with the 2 to 3 percent of the market that VA and HUD foreclosures represent.

Foreclosure Listings Increasing

As the market settled after the mortgage meltdown foreclosure listings also settled and fewer homes were on the market with a placard reading “Bank Foreclosure” in big red lettering. This was a good thing for the entire real estate market. Having an abundance of foreclosures brings the entire market down and it makes it harder for home owners, who would like to move, to get the appropriate price for their home as a similar home down the same street was sold for substantially less and the appraiser is using the foreclosure as a comparable sale. This is just one of the problems when there are too many foreclosure listings in any area. Another issue is the television set that sits in everyone’s living room harping about the price of homes based on the number of foreclosures and this constant barrage of negative information makes most people sit on the sidelines waiting for the market to either implode completely or to correct itself. Meanwhile while they wait, others are buying foreclosure listings and making great investments. Whatever the reason, a market can only handle so many foreclosure listings at any given time. The more foreclosures, the lower the market gets and this is a lesson the banks that were foreclosing and selling off realized too late. The market and their investments would have been better off if there had not been a rush to divest themselves of the toxic assets made more toxic by their own actions.
