Treehouse Sanctuary minutes from downtown Ridgefield's vibrant restaurants, boutique shopping, parks, and cultural attractions, with tranquil Silvermine River views from the eat-in kitchen. Transformed from the studs up, this exceptional Ridgefield residence offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the character of an established neighborhood with the confidence and comfort of a home that lives like new.

The stunning Craft-Maid kitchen is the heart of the home, featuring premium Wolf and KitchenAid appliances, designer stone countertops, a custom walk-in pantry, and seamless flow for everyday living and entertaining. Wide-plank hardwood floors, custom millwork, built-ins, and a beautifully crafted staircase add warmth and sophistication throughout. The second floor was completely reimagined! A luxurious primary suite with a spa-inspired marble bath and walk in closet. Plus a dedicated laundry room with double utility sink is priceless!

New York sophistication in the country. Only 0.6 miles from Main St, yet secluded on a private, quiet interior lot with Silvermine River views. Ideal for entertaining, with multiple levels of outdoor decking & porches as well as numerous natural light-filled rooms with great sun exposure. Custom built by Acorn, the structure is a modified post & beam house, carefully designed for its specific site and made to look as though it is sculpted to the landscape. Acorn exclusive trim & molding profiles are utilized throughout. As Acorn continues to be in business, matching trim & other carpentry details are readily available, making 100% matching additions/alterations far easier than with a traditional custom home. Frequently & thoughtfully updated throughout the years, the house boasts over $350K of improvements & additions over the past 2 decades, including but not limited to a new roof, siding, sun room, garage door, front door, porch, decks & HVAC systems within the last 5 years, as well as a newer gourmet kitchen with a commercial Wolf stove & driveway/property enhancement. Extensive stone walls throughout the property, with an expansive stone porch overlooking the Silvermine River. New, upgraded 5-bedroom septic in 2005 facilitates future further expansion. Whole house generator for added peace of mind. The home is minutes from downtown Ridgefield for shopping, restaurants, museums, Ridgefield Library, Ballard Park, Prospector Theater, ACT Theatre, & the Ridgefield Playhouse.
