Pound Ridge Perfection. Impeccably renovated in 2021 with a gorgeous covered patio added in 2025, this historic farmhouse offers a rare blend of sophistication and tranquility on two landscaped acres with lush gardens, pool, and a quiet pond on one of Pound Ridge’s most scenic roads. Once home to Barker’s Basket Shop, the property features a chic chef’s kitchen, luxurious baths, gorgeous hardwood floors, and a beautifully restored heated free-form pool that blends seamlessly into the landscape.

The first-floor primary suite boasts a spa-like bath, while two charming upstairs bedrooms share another full bath. The living room, circa 1800, showcases original hand-hewn beams, a handsome stone fireplace, and a flagstone floor — a nod to its rich history as Fred Barker’s workshop, one of the last basket makers in Pound Ridge. A two-car detached garage completes this rare offering, just minutes from the shops and restaurants of Scotts Corners and New Canaan. Perfect as a full-time residence or weekend escape — the very best of country living with an unmistakable touch of elegance.
