Fabulous 25 Mile Views Are The Hallmark Of This Gracious Property
Beautiful stone & shingle architecture perfectly balances the glory of nature visible from the vistas of this magnificent mini-estate. Nestled on 3.5 pristine acres high on a ridge in the north Ridgefield Equestrian enclave, the residence features perfect scale and flow, and is absolutely turn-key.
Attention To Detail
Originally built in 1935, the home was featured in the Dupont Registry of Fine Homes, and the recent renovation and expansion supports the quality, craftsmanship and attention to detail of the original. Located on one of Ridgefield’s most desirable properties, this handsome four bedroom residence features Brazilian cherry hardwood floors throughout, exquisite custom millwork, fabulous moldings, and rooms that are perfectly scaled to feel intimate, although they are actually quite grand in stature.
A Kitchen For A Chef
Literally designed for a premier Chef, and featured on the prestigious Ridgefield Kitchen Tour, the gourmet kitchen features a large granite island and counters, professional stainless appliances including a Wolf 6-burner gas range with griddle and double-ovens, Sub-Zero refrigerator, refrigerated drawers, warming oven, built-in steamer, dishwasher and farmhouse sink. Perfectly designed to make cooking and entertaining effortless, the kitchen adjoins a large breakfast nook and opens to the vaulted family room with a beautiful wood burning fireplace and captivating views of the paddocks and hills beyond. A renovated butler’s pantry with a beverage fridge, ice maker and wet bar perfectly complements the formal dining room, which walks out through French doors to a private bluestone slate patio. The living room features a second fireplace and massive windows and doors from which to enjoy the easterly views encompassing horse properties and 44 acres of conservation land. A guest suite with an ensuite bath, large mudroom, and elegant powder room complete the main floor.
Elegant, Yet Comfortable Spaces
Located around a central staircase the master suite and two additional bedrooms each form a wing of the home. The spacious bedrooms feature access to a beautiful Jack & Jill bath and retain the architectural detailing of the original Cape-design house. The master suite is comprised of a sitting area, office space, sumptuous master bath with double vanities with granite counters, extensive built-in cabinetry, soaker tub and oversized seamless glass shower. Numerous windows showcase the views in all directions from this suite of rooms.
Adjacent to 44 acres of conservation land and Open Space, and at an elevation of 800 feet, the property provides captivating views of the equestrian properties surrounding the homestead for up to 25 miles. A four stall barn and paddock provide the ideal place for horse-lovers, and a pool site is available. A 3-car detached garage, multiple stone patios, beautiful landscaping and a whole house generator round out the property. Truly spectacular!
