Our Take

40 Oenoke Ridge is a 1929 brick Colonial set on more than two acres, with six or seven bedrooms and a full top-to-bottom renovation. The property combines classic architecture with contemporary comforts and includes multiple outdoor living and lounging areas. A newly installed gated entrance provides privacy and a formal arrival. The grounds are presented as a private setting with access to the heart of town.

Historic Profile

The Frederick F. Fisher House at 40 Oenoke Ridge dates to 1929. One of the Church Hill neighborhood’s few brick houses, it has a two-and-a-half-story center beneath a slate roof, with lower wings on either side. Its off-center, projecting entrance combines a fanlight, sidelights, and a paneled door. Behind the brick exterior is a steel frame. The property belongs to New Canaan’s local historic district, established in 1963.

Research note: The 2023 Church Hill nomination uses both Colonial Revival and Tudor Revival for the house; a state review-board member favored Federal Revival. The New Canaan Historic District Commission spells the name Fischer. The architect and original commissioning owner remain unverified. The National Park Service determined the wider district eligible on July 19, 2024, with owner objections, rather than listing it.

How we compile this. The source is New Canaan municipal permit records. These records are imported periodically and are not a live feed from the town. A permit’s presence does not, by itself, confirm that work was completed or passed final inspection. Dates shown are issue dates unless identified otherwise. Descriptions may be lightly edited for readability without changing material details. Dollar amounts are town-reported project costs or permit valuations, not estimates of the property’s market value.
