Welcome to Shangri-La on over 2 acres. Romantic babbling brook runs across the very front of the property with gardens and shrubs on either side. Walk across one of 4 wooden bridges to get you from one side to the other. Newer kitchen with granite opens into family room for spacious, open, and fun gatherings. Three generous sized bedrooms are on the second floor. The master bedroom has an updated full bath and a walk-in closet. There is a walk-up attic accessible from the office/nursery. The semi-finished attic is only missing heat. Additionally, there is a large unfinished part of the attic could be finished as well into a full bath for a complete 2 room suite with 416 sq. ft. Across the back of the house is a 12'x40' deck. The 2.23 acres are truly magical! There are gardens, lawn, and picnic areas, of course the fabulous rushing brook and trails that lead you to the open space just behind the property. Bennett's Pond is through the woods and so is loads of fishing! This is probably one of the most idyllic properties in Ridgefield. You are not just buying a house; you are buying a lifestyle. *Owner claims there is great bass fishing in the pond* The house is not in the flood plain. No flood insurance required. Bennett's Farm open space surrounds the rear of the property. 460 acres for your privacy.
