This waterfront lake house has been completely redesigned and rebuilt from the studs up. The house finishes are top-of-the-line, with every detail designed for modern living and resource efficiency by the interior designer owner. This multiple-deck home, perched over Fox Hill Lake, is a 10-minute drive from historic downtown Ridgefield and has lake views on three sides. The upper level is designed for entertainment with an open-plan living room, dining room, and kitchen, cathedral ceilings, new oak floors, and a wood-burning fireplace. Two large sliding doors open onto a 28’ deck with spectacular views over the lake. The newly built primary bedroom suite has two large walk-in closets, and the primary bathroom is fitted with Rohl plumbing fixtures, heated floors, and towel bars. The functional custom gourmet kitchen boasts a beautiful Azul quartzite countertop and the top-of-the-line Miele refrigerator and Boche appliances. A large walk-in pantry and glass door china cabinet provide excellent storage. The lower second level has two more bedrooms, a full bathroom, a laundry room, and a study/den area with a walk-out lower deck. Off the carport, at the front of the house, is a separate heated room serving as an art study with water views. Curl up with a book on the 8’ window seat or kayak around the lake on a sunny day. This stunning home blends the best outdoor lakeside living with beautiful interiors and modern convenience. Fox Hill Lake Association maintains the lake. Membership is voluntary. Association dues are c. $250/year.
