Historical gem built in 1900 at new vastly reduced price! "THE BOOK BARN" was in existence until the mid 1940's - well loved and with much documented history. Many original details, board and batten siding, rustic beams, vaulted ceilings, wideboard floors, built-ins, nooks. Three fireplaces including floor to ceiling fieldstone fireplace in the book barn, now part of the main house. Three staircases with one leading to the "secret room". Large living areas include Family Room with walls of windows, Living Room w/barnwood, granite fireplace and, of course, the Barn - truly a Great Room. Master Bedroom w/oversized picture window w/views. CHARM CHARM CHARM complete with 3 acres in a storybook setting - rolling lawns, glens, stonewalls, brook, mature trees. Absolutely lovely. Sits on RT 33 bordering Ridgefield and Wilton within minutes to both town centers. One hour NYC. The extraordinary home sits waiting for the special buyer to restore to its original glory. Don't miss. Worth a look. Please note the number on mailbox is #1093 on Ridgefield Road (RT 33).
Originally two barns put together to form the residence. New additions include screened porch. This is essentially an estate and will be sold mostly As Is, but we do know the roof needs to be replaced and there is some water damage on some of the plaster walls. Out of towners and locals alike visited the Book Barn to browse book collection, have tea and mingle with other book lovers. PLEASE NOTE: the physical address for this property is 1093 Ridgefield Road, Wilton. But 80% of the property sits in Ridgefield. It is a Ridgefield property. The Town of Ridgefield has assigned it an address of #7 Wilton Road West however the number on the mailbox reads 1093 - The Wilton address is 1093 Ridgefield Road.
