Our Take
481 Ridgefield Road in Wilton combines a 1927 colonial with a modern barn addition on a two-acre lot. The home includes a great room with a wood-burning fireplace and ceilings over 30 feet, an adjacent family room, and a primary suite with a fireplace and claw-foot slipper bath. The original portion centers on a chef’s kitchen opening to a dining room with another wood-burning fireplace, while an office has a stained-glass window. Outside are an organically shaped pool, mature plantings, and a wisteria-covered deck. The house was painted and driveway paved in May.
Historic Profile
481 Ridgefield Road pairs Colonial Revival detailing with a prominent barn-shaped section. Vertical board siding on the larger block contrasts with wood shingles on the adjoining wing. Six-over-six sash windows and a small pedimented entrance porch provide traditional residential details. The house stands back from the road behind a broad lawn and mature trees. The two-acre property remains a single-family home, with a detached garage.
Research note: The Wilton Historical Society's 2018 property survey identifies a converted barn and gives a circa-1927 date, but also suggests an earlier barn origin. The conversion date and original farm association remain unresolved. The 2025 account instead describes a modern barn addition. These accounts do not establish a consistent construction sequence.

This is the home people gravitate to for fun, relaxing and living your best life! This home boasts some of the best entertaining spaces in Wilton. The sun flooded great room with wood burning fireplace and +30' ceilings is AWESOME - in the true sense of the word. Relax, hang out and entertain in the enormous adjacent family room with access to one of the home's 3 full bathrooms. Above this incredible space is the spectacular primary suite. Snuggle in front of the fireplace, or unwind and soak in the claw foot 'slipper' bath - this spacious suite is a true retreat. The heart of the original part of the home is the chef's kitchen that opens to the large dining room with the third wood burning fireplace. The office with charming stained-glass window completes the lower level. Upstairs are three additional bedrooms, a full bathroom and a possible location for a 2nd floor laundry. Outside, live summer to the max with a stunning organically shaped pool surrounded with mature plantings. Enjoy morning coffee, poolside al fresco lunches or evening dinners on the wisteria covered deck - accessed from all the main living spaces. The house was painted top to bottom & the driveway newly paved in May. Located minutes to town & train as well as many local restaurants - come and see this fabulous home in person to truly appreciate it

How we compile this. The source is Wilton 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.
