About This Home

Perfectly sited on magnificent grounds that once housed the historic Hawk's Nest Estate, this unique home blends elegance with extraordinary architectural character, just steps from downtown Ridgefield's vibrant town center! The main level flows effortlessly with spaces designed for quiet retreats, casual gatherings or grand-scale entertaining. A two-story living room features a floor-to-ceiling bank of windows. The magnificent stone fireplace and climate-controlled turret wine room are constructed from the estate's stone, circa 1890. The chef's kitchen, designed for both the serious cook and casual hospitality, includes a sun-filled dining area with floor-to-ceiling windows and expansive views of the manicured gardens. A charming garden room opens to a large entertainment deck overlooking the lush, private backyard. Completing the main level is an inviting family room with fireplace. Upstairs, the primary bedroom suite features a stunning two-story Palladian window, walk-in closet and beautiful bath. Three additional bedrooms surround a casual gathering room. In a balcony overlooking the living room, a whimsical seating area is surrounded by windows-a perfect space for a quiet getaway! Just steps from the main house, a studio apartment with full bath gives options for a fifth bedroom, office, recreation or guest quarters. Professionally designed perennial gardens enhance the natural stone outcroppings. A true turnkey residence, in the heart of the Village!
