First time on market, this bright 4 bed/2 bath home with a large deck on one acre, is in a highly desirable neighborhood in charming New Fairfield, yet just 65 miles to NYC and a short ride to Metro-North Brewster/Southeast train station. The house boasts a large eat-in kitchen, which may be updated to suit your style; custom arch between the living room and formal dining room; large bathroom with lots of counterspace and a big linen closet; master suite with a bathroom and walk-in closet; 3 additional bedrooms; family room, with wood burning stove; large two-car garage, with laundry and storage space; new roof installed in 2018; hardwood floors on upper level; surrounded by woods, for privacy, with a large front yard and a backyard that can be kept woodsy, serene, and low maintenance or cleared to create even more outdoor space. Schools, shopping, restaurants, town beach, and boating at Candlewood Lake are a 5 min. ride to the center of town. Danbury Fair Mall is a short drive away. Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy water activities at Squantz Pond and Ball Pond; Thunder Ridge Ski Area; and numerous hiking trails, at Pootatuck Forest, Sweetcake Mountain, Great Hollow, Macedonia Brook, and Kent Falls. Major highways, I-84/I-684, are easily accessible. New Fairfield offers many community events for people of all ages, but with better taxes than NY. It's rare to find tucked away privacy with an old-fashion neighborhood—58 Rita Drive offers just that idyllic setting!
