About this home
This stunning colonial farmhouse, set back on 2.16 pastoral acres on scenic Spectacle Lane & bordered by open space, is a treasured part of Ridgefield's history. Although expanded over time, the original circa 1790 structure was part of "Ferndale Farm", owned by Arthur W. Northrop from 1890-late 1930's, followed by Henri Doll in the late 1940's (Schlumberger-Doll), and the summer home of Kurt Waldheim while he was UN Secretary General. For over three decades, the current owners have cherished this landmark residence and thoughtfully updated it while preserving all of the period details including the many original wide board floors. A significant expansion/remodel was completed in 2018 by Tom Sturges including new windows, new siding/paint, copper leaders/gutters, wood roof, new appliances, & new HVAC. This gracious home offers 3,776 sf with five Bedroms, three full and two half baths, plus generous rooms for living/entertaining including the 17.5' x 27.5' combination living/dining room with original fireplace, wall of custom built-ins, and French doors to the covered porch; private library w/built-ins; sparkling white kitchen with Stainless Steel appliances open to the sky lit breakfast room with exposed beams and vaulted ceiling; plus a separate den w/walls of glass and French doors to the stone patio, sprawling yard and flowering gardens. Impressive primary suite featuring a luxe spa bath, plus adjoining fifth bedroom or idyllic studio/home office with separate full bath. Top location backing up to Woodcock Nature Preserve!...
