About This Home
As of August 2022As you turn up the drive, you enter a beautifully situated and peaceful property on 1.56 acres bordering hundreds of acres of open space preserve, state park and walking trails. Perennials added each year keep the gardens blooming for three seasons. And in the winter, you can strap on your snowshoes for lovely hikes out your back door. Take your coffee out to the covered front or back porch all year round to enjoy the myriad of flora and fauna on display. Enjoy the ‘middle of nowhere’ feeling knowing you are only 3 miles from every convenience imaginable. The best of open concept in the kitchen/family room yet also formal living and dining rooms. A dedicated office for remote work, a family room in the basement for films or play and a fantastic light and spacious bonus room – art studio, kids hangout, extra bedroom – your choice! The upper level offers 4 spacious bedrooms, including the primary bedroom and ensuite bathroom and walk-in closet, along with 2nd bedroom with ensuite and 2 large bedrooms sharing a full bathroom with tub/shower and dual sink stations. In addition there is ample storage in the basement, attic and off the garage. The owners have spent 10 years loving Ridgefield … the restaurants, town events, activity with schools, non-profits, clubs and hosting great outdoor parties on these magnificent grounds.
