On the National Register, The Pond-Weed Home has marked the entrance to Darien since circa 1696, serving as a Tavern and Blacksmith Shop and a witness to history. Incredibly unique, the home has remained almost untouched over the last 20 years and contains much of the original components. 3+ BR's, 2Ba's and central air accompany three fireplaces surrounded by English Gardens, a walk-up attic and original root cellar. Multiple options exist for the buyer who is interested in restoration through the Town of Darien & Preservation Connecticut including subdividing the property, mixed-use and the addition of a secondary structure for income property.
