About This Home
Turn of the century storied home, built as the carriage house for Nathan Lounsbury's neighboring Queen Anne estate known as the "Tower Cottage," where a young Jackie Bouvier Kennedy was known to visit after her aunt Maude Bouvier Davis purchased it in 1946. Per historic records, the carriage house was built in similar configuration to that of the main house, except for the tower being square vs round with "pyramidal" roof. Today, the owners have invested $400K+ over the past 13 years to seamlessly blend this barn style home's historic charm with state of the art lifestyle amenities. While just one block from Ridgefield's historic Main St. for shopping, restaurants, Ballard Park, library, theaters & museums, you'll find this special home tucked away privately on 1.25 idyllic level acres boasting stately mature trees. Enter through the double carriage style doors to a soaring great room featuring exposed beams, gleaming wood floors, & central brick chimney offering a cozy fireplace on the "living room" side & wood burning stove on the opposing "family room" side. The enchanting original stable doors form one wall of a private home office. Extensive remodeling including the sunny cook's kitchen featuring center island w/bar seating, SubZero fridge, double ovens, wine chiller & beamed/vaulted dining room. Of note: 4-5 BRs, most w/exposed beams & vaulted ceilings; 3 fully remodeled baths; attached barn w/hay loft storage; new siding/windows/insulation & more in attached addendum.
