About This Home

As of August 2025

Enjoy living in nature at this architectural modern estate. Access this magnificent property through a gated entrance and a long driveway, framed by manicured gardens, rock walls, and art, all enhancing the peaceful experience of this parcel. The home features walls of glass that seamlessly blend the interior with the exterior, providing stunning water views throughout its ten rooms. Inside, you'll find four bedrooms and four full bathrooms, a chef's kitchen, custom mahogany cabinetry, and cedar ceilings that add warmth and elegance to the interiors. The main dwelling covers just over 4,000 square feet, while a separate spacious three-car garage includes a 950-square-foot flex space above, ideal for an office or art studio. Recent improvements from 2024 include a new asphalt shingle roof on the main house, an electric heat pump and AC system for the garage, a 22,000 kW whole-house generator, and a new electrical panel for the main house. Set on just over an acre of land yet surrounded by protected open spaces around Marjoy Pond, this home offers the ultimate sense of seclusion while being just minutes from Main Street in Ridgefield. This home is a unique retreat.
