Ridgefield, CT
LAKE LIVING, BEAUTIFULLY REIMAGINED
Captivating views of Lake Mamanasco provide an ever-changing backdrop for this distinctive contemporary home, where thoughtful renovation, sophisticated design and relaxed lakeside living come together beautifully. Extensively updated by its professional interior-designer owner, 177 Mamanasco Road offers three bedrooms, three-and-one-half renovated baths and inviting spaces designed for both everyday comfort and memorable gatherings.
Glass entry doors welcome you into a light-filled foyer, where a custom steel cable railing, stained oak handrail and contemporary finishes establish the home’s clean, modern aesthetic. Upstairs, broad picture windows frame views of the lake from the expansive living room. Newly installed hardwood flooring adds warmth, while the redesigned fireplace—with its porcelain tile surround, marble hearth and custom floating oak mantel—creates a striking focal point.
The fully renovated 2023 kitchen is both beautifully composed and highly functional. Custom maple cabinetry extends to the ceiling and features routed finger pulls for a sleek, hardware-free appearance. Expansive counters, under-cabinet lighting and a glass mosaic backsplash complement a suite of Samsung stainless-steel appliances, including a double oven, induction cooktop, microwave, dishwasher and double-door refrigerator/freezer. A casual eating or workspace overlooks the wooded rear property, while direct deck access makes outdoor dining and entertaining effortless.
The formal dining room enjoys another oversized lake-view window and an artistic contemporary chandelier. Sliding glass doors open to the extraordinary all-season sunroom, measuring approximately 25'9" by 9'7". A dramatic vaulted ceiling and walls of glass create a remarkable connection to the surrounding trees and landscape. Generously proportioned and wonderfully versatile, this exceptional room can accommodate multiple uses—from lounging and entertaining to exercise, creative pursuits or a light-filled home office.
The peaceful primary suite features refinished oak flooring, large windows and a custom walk-in closet. A replacement window within the closet brings natural light into the dressing space—one of many thoughtful details found throughout the home. The beautifully renovated primary bath offers a deep freestanding soaking tub, Wetstyle wall-hung sink, an oversized glass-enclosed shower with marble flooring, and radiant-heated porcelain tile.
Two additional bedrooms provide comfortable and flexible space for family, guests or home offices. Each is conveniently positioned near a renovated full bath featuring contemporary fixtures, glass-enclosed showers and radiant-heated flooring. A stylishly renovated powder room completes the home’s 3.5 baths, while a spacious laundry/mudroom provides valuable utility and storage.
Outdoors, a broad rear deck offers ample room for dining and entertaining amid mature trees, established plantings and classic stone walls. The private backyard includes a level lawn area and raised vegetable garden with deer fencing. In front, beautifully maintained gardens complement the home’s contemporary exterior and dramatic lake setting.
The improvements extend well beyond aesthetics. Notable updates include a new furnace and electrical panel, hot water heater, well pump, garage doors and automatic openers, select custom Marvin windows, two entry doors, new and refinished flooring, energy-efficient LED lighting, exterior sconces and extensive interior finish work.
Just a short walk away, the private Mamanasco Beach Club offers optional membership and opportunities for swimming, sunbathing, picnicking, kayaking, canoeing, sailing, fishing and community gatherings. Gasoline motors and jet skis are prohibited on the approximately 96-acre lake, helping preserve its peaceful character. From brilliant fall foliage and summer days on the water to quiet winter views, Lake Mamanasco offers a rewarding lifestyle in every season.
All of this is conveniently located near highly regarded Ridgefield schools—including Ridgefield High School and Scotts Ridge Middle School—as well as the shops, restaurants, cultural attractions and classic New England charm of Ridgefield’s Main Street.
