Property Description

Welcome to 269 West Lane, a beautifully appointed Carriage House built by George G Haven in 1900 and extensively renovated to today’s highest standards. Steeped in Ridgefield history and charm, this “grand barn” was originally built for Haven’s prize horse Davey and his stablemates, with cost as no object in its construction. By the late 1940’s as Ridgefield’s grand estates were being disassembled and sold, 269 West Lane avoided destruction. An interior decorator, along with a landscape engineer acquired the barn and undertook a thoughtful renovation. Interior horse box stalls were turned into elegant bedrooms, and interior features such as the Herringbone brick flooring, renovated stable doors and the timeless impression of a historic horse barn. Enter the grounds through stone walls and a canopy of mature trees to find a private sanctuary of gardens, terraces and inviting Gunite pool. Formal fenced perenial gardens surround a charming garden cottage. The interior of the home is a wonderland of architectural character, with soaring ceilings, magnificent doors and custom details throughout. The rear of the house leads to a spacious inlaw or caretaker apartment, complete with an original horse stall, now a bedroom. This special country retreat is located less than a mile from charming Ridgefield center and just 55 miles to NYC.
