This sun-drenched custom-built Sturges home on 7+ acres is where privacy meets convenience in the heart of Ridgefield. With 4/5 beds, this effortlessly livable home is a carefully curated retreat designed for those who value the rare luxury of peaceful seclusion while also being close to everything. Stepping into the 2-story foyer you are surrounded by bright and airy rooms all leading to the "heart of the home" the one-of-a-kind French country kitchen featuring a French Blue La Cornue Range, soapstone countertops milled in New Hampshire, bakers counters by designer Monique Shay, and an antique center island. A large family room off the kitchen is perfect for entertaining or curling up with a book in front of the fireplace. Take in the sunrise from the sunroom and expansive deck as you look out over a lush landscape that is your own private oasis. With exquisite flow, a formal dining room, living room, 2 powder rooms, and laundry finish off this impressive main floor. The 2nd floor primary bedroom and ensuite w/ 2 walk-in closets has the second of three fireplaces and a private deck. Finishing off the upper levels are 3 more large bedrooms and 2 full baths plus a massive additional room. The beautifully finished basement adds a whole new dimension to the home, laid out for gym, media, kitchen, and play areas.
Having cleared half an acre of forest, the current owners developed the land on the main ridge, creating pathways, multiple outdoor seating areas, and a native stone fire pit. They also cut trails to the property's second ridge for hiking and exploring and cleared several large trees to establish sunrise views. An unparalleled setting bordering the Woodcock Acres protected land, it is the perfect place to gather, play, unwind, or simply find peace in the zen-like gardens. Lovingly refreshed with a brand-new roof, freshly painted interior and exterior, well taken care of mechanicals, and a whole house generator. This is a commuter's dream. Enjoy absolute privacy and a tranquil setting just over the border from NY and minutes away from the vibrant heart of everything Ridgefield has to offer.
