Welcome to Darby Lane, an extraordinary property named for its sprawling acreage and the abundance of deer and wildlife that roam year-round.

The kitchen also boasts a walk-in pantry and a hand-shaped limestone tiled floor. Designed for entertaining, the stunning sunken dining room seats 18 and faces a private courtyard. The reclaimed local wood-clad ceiling, brick masonry wall, and custom-mounted Moet & Chandon champagne riddling racks add to the room's unique ambiance. Oversized single-hung windows envelop the room, allowing for enhanced summer dining.
