Tower Cottage

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 versus round with a “pyramidal” roof. Today, the owners have invested more than four hundred thousand dollars 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 Street for shopping, restaurants, Ballard Park, library, theaters, and museums, you will 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, and a central brick chimney offering a cozy fireplace on the “living room” side and a wood-burning stove on the opposing “family room” side. The enchanting original stable doors form one wall of a private home office. Extensive remodeling includes the sunny cook’s kitchen featuring center island with bar seating, SubZero refrigerator, double ovens, wine chiller, and beamed and vaulted dining room. Of note: four to five bedrooms, most with exposed beams and vaulted ceilings; three fully remodeled bathrooms; attached barn with hayloft storage; new siding, windows, insulation, and more in attached addendum.
