Built in 1880 as the A.L. Benedict House, this welcoming Victorian farmhouse has been fully restored, remodeled, & expanded to seamlessly blend historic details with a light, open, & timeless design. Total 4,775 sf in the main home w/4 finished floors, 6 BR, 4/2 BA, 5 fplc, & over $1.2M invested in interior reconfiguration; great rm w/radiant htd floor; kitchen/bath renovations; C/A; MBR suite w/fplc, built-ins, full bath w/air massage tub & htd floor; plus lower level w/pvt guest suite, full bath, charming den w/exposed stone walls, wood burning stove, & double sets of French doors to the backyard resort. The detached studio/pool house (528 sf) is perfect for an artist or home office with vaulted ceilings & 2nd story loft. This home is a part of Ridgefield's storied past. It was moved by A. Barton Hepburn in 1906 to its current location on "Publisher's Row". The Hepburn era gave High Ridge this nickname for being home to significant book publishers, artists, entertainers, bankers & philanthropists, contributing to the vibrancy for which Ridgefield is still known.
