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 to include a working walk-in refrigerator and compressor, a functioning coal burner and remnants of a vintage dumbwaiter, 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
