Ridgefield, CT 06877

Exceptional converted carriage barn in premier location, just one block from Ridgefield's historic Main St. for shopping, restaurants, Ballard Park, library, theaters & museums, yet tucked away privately on 1.25 idyllic level acres boasting stately mature trees. True price of ownership - the owners have invested $400K+ over the past 13 years to seamlessly blend this barn style home's historic charm with state of the art lifestyle amenities including kitchen & bath remodeling; new siding/windows; new deck; new hardwood; & more in attached addendum. Enter through the double carriage style doors to a soaring great room featuring exposed beams, gleaming wood floors, & central brick chimney offering a cozy fireplace on the "living room" side & 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 w/bar seating, SubZero fridge, double ovens, wine chiller & beamed/vltd dining room. Of note: 4-5 BRs, most w/exposed beams & vaulted ceilings; 3 fully remodeled baths; attached barn w/hay loft storage; & 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 & new in a park-like private setting.
