Property Description

Additional finished third-floor space (1,015 sq ft) not included in MLS square footage, bringing the total living area to approx. 3,397 sq ft. This historic Ridgefield landmark, known both as the Lewis June House and the Scott House, stands as one of the finest preserved examples of French Second Empire architecture. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984, this unique property has a rich history of intriguing owners, including its original owner, Lewis June, who co-owned the Barnum & Bailey circus. It is even rumored that circus animals "wintered" on this very property! The home is adorned with original architectural details that exude charm and sophistication. The first floor features impressive floor-to-ceiling windows, gleaming wood floors, and a classic center hall curved staircase. Recently updated, the house has been freshly painted throughout and now boasts a new kitchen and luxurious bath. The 2.70-acre property also includes modern amenities such as a newer AC system, an oil burner, and a new split system in the third-floor bonus room. Whether you are a history enthusiast or someone looking for a unique, elegant home, the Lewis June House offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Ridgefield's storied past with all the comforts of modern living. Please note the the fireplaces are decorative and non-working and that the exterior studio is in "as-is" condition.
