About the Home

A perfect city escape just 60 miles from midtown Manhattan! Modern amenities meet historical charm in this renovated 1920s Dutch Colonial where relaxing afternoons can be spent overlooking the everchanging vista of a backyard pond and woods beyond. And yet the center of Ridgefield – Connecticut’s only designated Cultural District – is just minutes away. A 2011 renovation transformed this home as every room received attention, enhancing timeless character while adding contemporary conveniences. Nine-foot ceilings, original birch flooring, tall wainscoting, and a magnificent fieldstone fireplace grace the main level. Upstairs you’ll find 4 bedrooms and three full baths. A heated sunroom is a year ‘round delight. Need a place to catch up on work? A cozy corner office keeps you in touch. 2 car garage! All of this on 3 acres with 1.5 miles of Ridgefield’s vibrant downtown. Live Broadway-caliber theater, a local symphony orchestra, a renowned contemporary art museum, summer concerts in the park and the many offerings of the Ridgefield Playhouse are just a few of the entertainment events you’ll find here. Venture along Main Street for restaurants, shopping and historic homes. 2011 improvements include: 6 bedroom septic; HVAC; kitchen expansion and renovation; 3 baths renovated; 2nd floor laundry; hardwood floors refinished; new gutters with leaf guards; new windows (2016); new roof on main house (2016) Conceptual plans are available for a family room and primary bedroom expansion.
