Take a step out of the expected. Sure, this is a ranch-style home with the great convenience of one level living, including an on-grade garage. But were you expecting a chef’s kitchen boasting a commercial grade refrigerator and freezer? Or a large deck opening to a level, grassy yard where entertaining and holiday parties can delight all ages? And then there is the spacious finished walkout lower level with a private brick patio … just perfect for escaping the activity upstairs or perhaps accommodating guests. With a south facing picture window, sunlight floods this home from dawn to dusk. In the winter, take your choice of two fireplaces to warm yourself. You’ll find plenty of room for all with 3 good-sized bedrooms and a fourth main level room that is currently used as an office. Storage abounds, especially in the lower level where a dedicated space runs the full length of the house. Outside you’ll see the results of more than two decades of gardening effort in the landscape of mature trees, vibrant shrubs, and perennial blooms. Woodland paths have been cleared to further allow exploration. Meticulously kept, this home has been steadily improved over the years. Among its special features are an always-ready whole house generator and a specialty air dehumidification system. With its location just minutes from either Rt 7 or the West Redding train station this home offers easy access to NYC, Norwalk and Danbury. Downtown Ridgefield is under 5 miles.
