Price: premium (1.05× adjusted comp value) · overall read: priced at a premiumRoom to negotiate

Well-maintained 1991 colonial (updated c.2005) with fantastic bones, stunning grounds, and pool — but asking 5% over recent comp median on 61 days, with no recent major permits to justify the premium.

Bottom line: do not pay list on 61 DOM.

What's right

  • + Land + pool: 2.24 acres of private, level, usable property with in-ground pool is a major lifestyle asset; comps sold in this range usually lack both.
  • + School district + neighborhood: Wilton schools are strong; Stonebrook Ridge is an established address.
  • + Layout: 5 bed / 4.5 bath with two-story foyer, formal living/dining, two-story family room with stone fireplace, and walk-out lower level offer entertain-ability and space.
  • + Systems: Central AC confirmed; oil heat appears recently serviced; roof, gutters, and exterior are fresh.

What's wrong

  • − 61 days on market at this price is a red flag; either overpriced or something didn't show well initially.
  • − Asking $419/sf vs. $399/sf median for recent comps (1.05x) — claiming premium on a late-2000s update, not a recent high-end renovation.
  • − Kitchen and baths, while solid, are 15+ years old; appliances show wear and don't command modern price-per-foot.
  • − Windows show condensation/seal issues; likely $10k–$20k to replace compromised units.

What the photos show

Read from all 18 listing photos — finishes era: c.2005-2010 renovation with original 1991 shell · visible finishes 8/10

Kitchen

Generous oak cabinetry with granite counters, center island, black appliances, decorative tile backsplash, and abundant windows; reads late 2000s. Black range/refrigerator showing wear; solid but not high-end finishes.

Baths

Primary bath features soaking tub, dual vanities with marble, gold fixtures, and decorative tile borders — all c.2005-2010 aesthetic. Guest baths appear similarly updated. No visible damage; finishes are aging gracefully but dated by current standards.

Yard

2.24 acres with impressive flat, usable lawn bounded by mature hardwood forest and stone walls. In-ground pool with concrete deck and safety fencing. Excellent for entertaining and privacy; no visible slope or wetland issues on the immediate grounds. Deciduous trees provide shade but will require seasonal maintenance.

Curb appeal

Strong: center-hall colonial with brick/cedar siding, recent roof, copper gutters, stone chimneys, columned portico, curved driveway, and mature landscaping. Three-car garage reads seamlessly. Property is immaculate in photos — professional staging and grounds maintenance evident. First impression is affluent and well-kept.

Visible issues

  • – Window condensation visible in several interior shots — possible seal deterioration or humidity control issue to investigate
  • – Laundry room shows dated cream/white machines; not luxe upgrades
  • – Staging throughout is heavy (bare furniture, neutral rugs, professional photography) — masks any minor wear
  • – Kitchen black appliances show age; granite is solid but backsplash tile is dated
  • – Pool deck concrete shows age/settling — likely to need re-sealing or eventual replacement

Missing at this price point

  • – No solar; would appeal to eco-conscious buyer at $2.1M
  • – Updated kitchen is present but appliances show age; stainless steel + convection expected

Not confirmed from the gallery

  • – No visible backup generator — increasingly expected at this price point in storm-prone Connecticut — not photographed; ask

Also worth knowing

  • Oil heat — ask tank location/age/insurance
  • Sits just off Ridgefield Road, a through route — check from the yard how much you hear it
  • 8,400 vehicles a day measured on Ridgefield Road within 130m (CT DOT, 2024) — the street itself is quiet, but that traffic is in earshot
  • Cut 8.7% from $2,295,000 (2 changes since 2026-07-27)
