Roughly half of Darien's single-family homes were built between 1970 and 1989, and they carry the hallmarks of that era: galley kitchens with 30-inch upper cabinets, closed-off floor plans, laminate countertops, and fiberglass tub-shower combos in bathrooms that have not been touched since the avocado-and-almond decade. At a median build year of 1978, these are 45-to-55-year-old homes that are structurally sound but cosmetically and functionally overdue for a full reset.
Bayern Builders has been working inside these homes since 1996, block by block, from Farmingdale and Briarcliffe to Carriage Way West and Concord Knolls. We know where the load-bearing walls run in a standard 1970s Darien ranch, how the plumbing is typically stacked in the split-levels off Plainfield Road, and exactly which permits the City of Darien Community Development Department will require before a single wall comes down. This is not a market we service from a distance; it is the city where we operate every day.
