A Waterfront Ridgefield Spread with Classic Charm Can Be Yours for $1.7M

Looking for a tranquil spot embodying all the traditional beauty of New England? This Cape-style home in Ridgefield, Connecticut could be an ideal choice. The house is nestled on Pond Road, though it sits right next to Lake Mamanasco, and was beautifully remastered in 2014. On the market for $1.695 million, the listing is relatively reasonable for a lifetime of waterfront, Fairfield County living.

Set on 2.7 acres, the estate is not too big, not too small, but just right. Its 4,461 square foot home is tucked amongst greenery and a natural warmth carries into to the interiors as well. The quintessence of historic New England charm, warm hardwood floors work their way through elegant rooms filled with light. The chic kitchen is a perfect family spot, centered around a navy center island and complete with an apron front sink.

In terms of the home’s private spaces, there are a total of three bedrooms and four bathrooms rounding out the square footage. The primary suite offers a walk-in closet and lake views, while two additional rooms are fresh and cozy. On the top floor of the home includes a rec space with a pool table and more areas for play.

With green and blue signs out every window, the leafy scenery beckons you outside. There’s plenty to soak up with beautiful landscaping, a grand multi-level stone patio, a waterfall, and brand-new stairs leading to lake. There’s even space to steal away for complete solitude thanks to the 660-square-foot, one-bedroom guest cottage which can double as an artist studio or home office.

Just in time for the start of the school year, Karla Murtaugh of Compass holds the listing.
