One of a kind expanded Raised Ranch on private setting close to Route 7 for easy commute north or south. Gorgeous gourmet kitchen for the cook and private master suite with vaulted ceiling, walk-in closet and updated over-sized shower for the head of household to enjoy. This home has entertaining spaces in and out doors so you can enjoy the property year round. New septic in 2005. Generator hookup ready for any situation. Lovingly maintained and ready for the next owner to move right in including recently updated appliances and refreshed with professional painting and landscaping. Like much of Ridgefield, our property is hilly, yet there’s ample space to enjoy the outdoors. The large front yard includes a garden shed and perennial garden along the border with our neighbors (to the left as you look out of the front door). There is another significant flat yard behind the house, where the kids’ swing set stands. Behind this, the property slopes down approximately 150’ to where it abuts state-owned protected park/open space. Please note that this property shares a driveway with one other home. There is additional parking at the base of the driveway.
