Discover serenity and charm in this inviting ranch located on a picturesque, scenic road in Ridgefield close to the heart of Branchville with a train station, local restaurants, and shops. This property originally housed the quarryman's cottage as part of a granite quarry in the late 1800's, and stunning granite and stone outcroppings continue to adorn the property today. Inside you will find the light-filled living room with fireplace and the dining room, perfect for everyday gathering and dining yet spacious enough for entertaining. The kitchen includes ample storage with two pantries and a door leading to the patio overlooking the stunning and private back yard. Two bedrooms and a full hall bath complete the main level featuring hardwood floors throughout. The unfinished lower level offers plenty of room for storage and includes a garage space if desired. A custom detached barn constructed by CT Country Carpenters serves as the perfect space for a workshop or artist's studio, and can alternatively be used as a garage. The 1+ acre property features mature gardens and specimen plantings throughout, including cherry trees and lilacs. Natural stone walls, a tranquil brook meandering along the edge of the property, and waterfalls in the woods all enhance the beauty of the natural backdrop. The adjacent open space enhances privacy, while an added touch of historic charm comes from the neighboring antique schoolhouse currently being renovated by the town.
