Follow the meandering driveway to Ravenswood. Featured in Architectural Digest (2020), the home was built by design-driven, eco-conscious architects StoneFox, known for contemporary architecture with a strong sense of place. Their approach emphasizes clean, simple design and a sensitive connection to nature and the environment. As you enter, you are struck by the soaring living room ceilings. Large windows pull your eye out to the landscape and the heated gunite pool that sits seamlessly just beyond. The kitchen is anchored by a modern marble island, the centerpiece of the room. Appliances are integrated with custom European bleached white oak cabinetry for a seamless look, finished with Carrara marble. The den is conveniently located on the first floor and features large glass doors to provide privacy when required. A bedroom suite and a powder room complete this level. Climb the solid oak staircase to the second floor to find a modern, light-filled landing large enough to accommodate an office. The spacious primary suite welcomes the outside in with a large picture window that frames the New England forest. Your own private retreat. The primary bath features a large soaking tub that overlooks the property, allowing you to take in the serene, quiet landscape. A double vanity and large marble shower set the tone for this modern sanctuary.
An additional bedroom and full bath with a soaking tub complete this floor. The ground floor provides more room to welcome guests. Currently used as a living room, gym, and play space, this area allows for flexible living. The laundry room offers a luxurious detail: two washing machines and two dryers for those overflow weekends with guests. Other distinguishing features include spray foam insulation, an energy recovery ventilation system that significantly reduces heat loss and gain, multi-zone central AC, California Faucets fixtures, Baldwin door hardware, radiant heat and surround sound in house and outside on patio and pool area. To protect your solitude, the adjacent surrounding land is protected with a conservation easement. The Litchfield Hills present a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in all seasons. Enjoy skiing at nearby Butternut or cross-country trails in the winter. In the summer, spend time at the town lakes and hiking the ample nature preserves, or simply enjoy the seasons from your own backyard oasis.
