Ridge Acres Beauty

This could be your very own "Yellow Brick Road", leading you to your new home!

This could be your very own “Yellow Brick Road”, leading you to your new home.  Follow, follow, follow….

It’s so hard to gracefully combine an old house and new space for modern living, however we found one that works; where life carries on graciously and the dogs can roam freely!  56 Ridge Acres, asking $3,515,000, offered through Kelly Associates, successfully passes the test!  We have liked this house since it came on – sometime ago.  This new price (the house originally started at $3,750,000 with a different broker) is certain to lead someone to this fabulous expanded Connecticut Colonial.  It really has everything.  Space, both indoors and out, a pool, nice open kitchen, bedrooms (6), and privacy!

Flat and beautiful back garden, with plenty of space and privacy. Lots of room for a garden.

Curb appeal already established! Lovely lines running the length of the house.

Flat, private and a fabulous pool for entertaining.

Even though no one seems to use a dining room anymore, it is SO NICE to have one.  Sitting down for a family meal at any holiday will be fabulous in this room.

An example of Ellie Cullman's work.  Elegant and sophisticated.  Wonderful if you are looking for a formal dining room.

Another example of Elliie’s work that would translate beautifully at 56 Ridge Acres. It’s all in the detail!

Pantry and lots of storage space in a open usable kitchen.

Moving right into the Great Room where more casual living is incorporated seamlessly.

This is a great house.  It really feels like a home, and will make the next 15 or 20 years something special for you!  If you would like to see it, we would love to show it to you.
