Property Description

Exceptional converted carriage barn in premier location, just one block from Ridgefield's historic Main Street for shopping, restaurants, Ballard Park, library, theaters and museums, yet tucked away privately on 1.25 idyllic level acres boasting stately mature trees. True price of ownership - the owners have invested four hundred thousand dollars plus over the past thirteen years to seamlessly blend this barn style home's historic charm with state of the art lifestyle amenities including kitchen and bath remodeling; new siding/windows; new deck; new hardwood; and more in attached addendum. Enter through the double carriage style doors to a soaring great room featuring exposed beams, gleaming wood floors, and central brick chimney offering a cozy fireplace on the "living room" side and wood burning stove on the opposing "family room" side. The enchanting original stable doors form one wall of a private home office. The sunny renovated kitchen features a center island with bar seating, SubZero refrigerator, double ovens, wine chiller and beamed/vaulted dining room. Of note: four to five bedrooms, most with exposed beams and vaulted ceilings; three fully remodeled baths; attached barn with hay loft storage; and storied history - built as the carriage house for Nathan Lounsbury's neighboring Queen Anne estate known as the "Tower Cottage," where a young Jackie Bouvier Kennedy was known to visit after her aunt Maude Bouvier Davis purchased it in 1946. Walk to everything from this in-village home offering the best of old and new in a park-like private setting.
