Property Description
Rarely does a property of this character and versatility come to market. Welcome to 677 N Salem Road - known historically as the Jamesway Barn Estate - a truly singular 2-acre compound in the heart of Ridgefield that blends 19th-century craftsmanship with extraordinary potential. The main Colonial residence is a diamond in the rough, offering 3 bedrooms, rich wide-plank hardwood floors, two wood-burning fireplaces, and a spacious all-season room - a home that simply awaits the right vision to restore it to its full glory. Original architectural details throughout speak to the craftsmanship of a bygone era. The crown jewel of the property is the historic Jamesway Barn - an awe-inspiring structure with dramatic 40-foot ceilings that must be seen to be believed. Below, a fully finished 2-bedroom apartment provides immediate rental income potential or multi-generational living, complemented by a 3-bay garage and private patio deck. A separate 2-bay garage plus workshop offers endless possibilities for the craftsman, car enthusiast, or entrepreneur. A historic root cellar once served as the hub for winemaking and meat preservation - a remarkable piece of agricultural heritage. Envision a private family compound, income-producing investment, or restored showpiece - 677 N Salem Road delivers the bones, the land, and the legacy. Opportunities like this in Ridgefield are irreplaceable.
