185 Old Branchville Road, Ridgefield, CT

This beautifully updated Colonial wows from the minute you enter.  A two-story foyer is complemented by a sweeping curved stairway to an upper level balcony, while multiple large windows join hardwood floors, neutral colors and lovely trim work to create a light and breezy feeling.

The sunken living room features a marble and brick fireplace and adjoins a quiet office with French doors. A nearby full bath allows for the creation of a guest or in-law suite should one desire. The formal dining room walks through double doors to the gourmet kitchen complete with granite counters, a large pantry, ample cabinetry and professional appliances such as Thermador double ovens and a GE Profile cooktop. A wine cooler promises summer fun as the adjoining breakfast room walks out to the spacious rear deck and superbly private rear yard, perfect for a large gathering. Also with access to the deck, the open concept, vaulted two-story family room includes a brick fireplace focal point and is overlooked by a breezeway leading to the bedrooms above.

The private spaces include a large master suite with two walk-in closets and a newly remodeled master bath. A double granite vanity joins a glass shower and a huge soaking tub, creating a luxurious spa-like experience. The three additional spacious bedrooms are joined by an updated hall bath with a marble vanity. The finished lower level includes a games and media room, as well as a gym/bonus room along with a full bath and laundry. Access to the two-car garage is also found here.

Outside, the home is a bird-lovers paradise with tree-top views on all sides. The property abuts a nature preserve, so continued views and privacy are assured as the land can never be developed. Simple perennial landscaping, unique rock features, fern gardens and mature trees create a zen-like space to relax after a long day. Only a short drive to all Ridgefield has to offer, the home is also in a great commute location to down county via Route 7, or to the Katonah Train into NYC via Route 35.

A truly peaceful home in a spectacular setting.
