Property Description
Welcome to the Sanctuary! Discover a slice of Europe in the heart of Ridgefield with this charming 1760 converted barn. Originally transformed by antique dealers in 1950 as a cozy weekend retreat, this historic barn, with its original wide plank chestnut floors, was once part of a neighboring home for over two centuries. In 2000, the owners enhanced the property with a formal English garden, designed by Schoeller Ruzicka Design in a classic Gothic style. The garden bursts with color from phlox, daffodils, roses, and daisies, complemented by fountains, a spa, a stone archway, and a tranquil pond that feeds into the Titicus River. Recent owners have made thoughtful additions, including a garage, mudroom, expansive studio, and a unique passage leading to the entry courtyard. Modern updates, such as a cedar roof, whole-house generator, remodeled bathroom, split system heating and cooling, irrigation, and upgraded electrical systems, bring contemporary comfort to this historic gem. Located just 60 minutes from New York City, The Sanctuary provides an idyllic weekend getaway or a perfect year-round home to enjoy the best of Ridgefield's rich history and natural beauty.
