Darien, CT —
Summer Nights in Darien

The Darien Nights Concert Series was launched by Darien residents David Genovese and Penny Glassmeyer, who head up Baywater Properties and Grove Street Plaza, respectively. During the Winter of 2008-2009, the two decided it was time to do something positive for residents who would be staying around town because of the unsettled economic climate and to encourage them to shop locally and support Darien’s merchants. The first series was such a great success this yearly tradition has continued ever since and every year attendance grows.

Completed in 2023 and designed by Michael Smith Architects, this extraordinary six bedroom waterfront residence offers more than 8,700 square feet of luxury living along one of Stamford's most coveted stretches of Ocean Drive West. Built two feet above FEMA flood elevation requirements and featuring sweeping views of Long Island Sound from every principal room, the home combines timeless coastal architecture, exceptional craftsmanship, and modern construction. Thoughtfully designed for both grand entertaining and everyday living, the residence balances expansive gathering spaces with private retreats, all oriented toward the water. A cedar shake exterior, stone detailing, and sunrise to sunset exposure define the home's striking waterfront presence. Across three levels, terraces, balconies, and principal living spaces are carefully positioned to capture panoramic views of Long Island Sound, creating a seamless connection between the interior and the surrounding landscape. The result is a residence equally suited for weekend escapes, year round living, and large scale entertaining. The main level is centered around a dramatic great room that opens directly to the waterfront patio and pool terrace. A separate living room with fireplace and wet bar provides a more intimate setting for gathering, while the custom chef's kitchen and butler's pantry feature extensive cabinetry and storage. A glass enclosed 72 bottle wine display serves as a striking focal point within the dining area.
