About This Home

As of August 2022

Simply perfect! Set on a one acre lot in one of Ridgefield's best locations, this recently renovated Colonial is sure to capture your heart. A two stage renovation (2016 and 2020) has created a space that checks every box, from the clever attention to detail to the sensible flow of the main level. An open concept kitchen, living and dining area exits to a patio and adjacent screened porch, emphasizing a love of indoor-outdoor living. The kitchen itself boasts gorgeous stone counters, a stainless steel appliance suite and an island with breakfast bar, ideal for entertaining or quiet dinners at home. The adjacent living room is the expression of charm, featuring a clever dry-bar, built in shelving and a wood burning fireplace. The main level has an additional great room, mud room with laundry and access to the two car garage. The upper level has been renovated with five bedrooms, including a primary suite with a fabulous spa-like bathroom. 736 square feet of partially finished basement space invites your creative touch. Set in Farmingville, just minutes from town and the convenience of Route 7, 78 Walnut Grove Road brings new meaning to the word, "home."
