Property Description

Historic Ridgefield Estate - Where Legacy Meets Modern Luxury. Originally built in 1911 as the Ridgefield School for Boys, this unique estate once anchored a vast 115-acre campus and featured more than 100 rooms, including classrooms, dormitories, and offices. When the school closed, the property was purchased by Francis D. Martin, who gave it a bold architectural overhaul by removing the top three floors, reshaping its silhouette but preserving its timeless character. Today, the lower level still holds remarkable original features: a working walk-in refrigerator and compressor, a functioning coal burner, a vintage dumbwaiter, and the legendary "Dungeon Room", all offering a rare, tangible connection to the property's rich and storied past. The home is nestled on an expansive 4.98-acre parcel of picturesque land, located in coveted Ridgefield, Connecticut, this exquisite residence presents an unparalleled blend of grandeur and comfort. Enjoy a one-floor residence that has been preserved and reimagined into a beautifully renovated ranch-style property offering 4,808 square feet of living space. The home offers breathtaking panoramic views in the town of Ridgefield. The landscape is adorned with a lush tapestry of vibrant, clustered trees. As the seasons turn, this ever-changing natural spectacle provides a captivating backdrop year-round, perfectly complementing families who love to entertain. The modern 2019 kitchen renovation boasts 10-foot tall ceilings, all Thermador appliances including a convection and steam oven, six-burner gas cooktop, and a 3-tier dishwasher. The 10-foot island accommodates a prep sink, a modern drawer microwave, and pull-out drawer fridge and freezer. The home offers spaces to accommodate large gatherings, for those who love to entertain. The kitchen provides abundant storage space while seamlessly blending historic charm with modern comfort. Boasting seven ample bedrooms, this home is designed to accommodate both intimate family living and elegant entertaining with ease. The five full bathrooms and two thoughtfully appointed guest half baths offer both convenience and privacy for residents and guests alike. An inviting, full house cottage adjoins the main residence, offering an ideal private sanctuary for an au pair, in-laws, or extended family. Thoughtfully designed for both comfort and convenience, this charming retreat contains a private entrance, washer/dryer, modern renovated kitchen, two full baths, a dining and living room, and a private deck. The attached cottage ensures independence while maintaining seamless access to the main home, perfectly balancing privacy with togetherness. The home is equipped with three fireplaces, including two wood-burning stoves, solar panels, covered garage spaces to accommodate 10 vehicles and over 2,000 sq ft of outdoor deck and living space to enjoy the panoramic views. Mechanical updates feature a full house generator, HVAC system, a steam boiler, an electric hot water heater, and a new Trane air conditioning system. Surrounded by serene natural beauty, this property provides a tranquil retreat while remaining within reach of the vibrant community amenities that Ridgefield is renowned for. Experience the perfect harmony of refined living and rustic charm in this exceptional estate.
