Three bedroom, three and a half bathroom modern home | 4,111 square foot house on 1.97 acres | Open layout living space with soaring ceilings | Wood-burning fireplace | Gourmet kitchen with eat-in island, modern appliances, and Carrara marble countertops | Main-level guest suite | Loft-style second story landing | Primary suite with high ceilings, deep soaking tub, and marble shower | Surrounded by conservation-protected land | Designed by StoneFox Architecture + design featured in Architectural Digest

A dark exterior gives way to light-filled, angular interiors, where oversized windows and glass doors create clear sightlines to the surrounding greenery and establish a strong connection to the grounds. This interplay between structure and landscape defines Ravenswood, a forest retreat designed by StoneFox Architects and later featured in Architectural Digest.

Entering the open living space, soaring ceilings rise beneath a loft-style hallway on the second level. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the sitting area, while a wall of glass doors and expansive windows frames the landscape beyond. A dedicated dining area sits at the center of the room, comfortably accommodating a large table and flowing into the elongated kitchen, providing an ideal layout for gathering and entertaining.

The kitchen is organized in a U-shaped configuration around a substantial eat-in island topped with Carrara marble. Custom European bleached white oak cabinetry conceals integrated appliances, set against a glossy blue tile backsplash that adds contrast and depth. Storage is generous throughout, and an additional set of glass doors opens directly to the grounds. Set apart from the rest of the main level, a den sits behind sleek, oversized French doors with a modern profile, offering separation when needed. An airy guest suite and a separate half bath wrapped in intricate monochromatic blue wallpaper complete the floor.

Up the solid oak staircase, the landing forms the loft-like corridor seen from below, overlooking the living room and offering space for a desk or reading area. The primary bedroom centers on a large picture window facing the forest, while the ensuite bath includes a deep soaking tub positioned toward the property, a double vanity, and a large marble shower. An additional guest bedroom set beneath vaulted ceilings and a full bath complete the second level. Below, the ground floor provides flexible living space currently arranged as a living room and gym, along with a separate laundry room.

The home’s grounds extend directly from the glass-lined living space, beginning with a stone patio spacious enough to accommodate both dining and lounge areas. A run of concrete stairs leads down to the heated gunite pool, subtly separating spaces for entertaining and swimming. At the front of the home, the pea gravel driveway doubles as an additional gathering area, where Adirondack chairs encircle a fire pit just beyond the property’s entrance.

The Neighborhood: In + Around Salisbury, Connecticut

Set within the Litchfield Hills, Salisbury is central to outdoor recreation. A nearby stretch of the Appalachian Trail offers a 4.4-mile out-and-back hike to Lion’s Head, with the option to continue to Bear Mountain for a longer hike rewarded with expansive views of the mountains. In the winter, Catamount Mountain and Butternut are each within 40 minutes of Ravenswood. During the warmer months, Four Brothers Drive-In in nearby Amenia pairs movies under the stars with an unexpectedly robust snack bar menu, lobster rolls included.

For dining, Stissing House – a colonial tavern dating back to 1782 – is known for its cozy, candlelit dining room and fire-cooked New American fare and extensive wine list, less than 25 minutes from Salisbury. In Hillsdale, Little Cat Lodge sits at the base of the Berkshires, offering lodge-style dining, craft cocktails, and intimate booths well-suited for an après-ski dinner.

For a broader mix of shops and restaurants, Great Barrington is a short drive north into Massachusetts. Main Street and Railroad Street are lined with clothing boutiques, vintage stores, and housewares shops, including Artemesia, known for handmade clothing in natural fibers; scout, which carries a curated assortment of furniture, textiles, housewares, and apparel; and Familiar Trees, a bookstore specializing in art-focused out-of-print, rare, and new titles. In the evening, stop into Lucy’s Rendezvous for elevated craft cocktails or MoonCloud for drinks paired with dinner-sized charcuterie plates, or head to the Triplex Cinema for an independent, foreign language, or blockbuster movie.

The Grounds at Ravenswood: A Landscape-Led Setting

Ravenswood’s main level is defined by a wall of glass — oversized windows and doors that establish clear sightlines to the landscape and movement between indoors and out. Their scale draws light and greenery into every room, allowing the grounds to unfold as a natural extension of the home.

Just beyond the living space, a broad stone patio offers ample room for lounging and dining. Two wide concrete stair runs descend to the heated gunite pool, creating a gentle transition between levels. Framed by layered landscaping and protected land across the way, the pool area feels secluded and serene. Though the property is open and cleared, the surrounding land and dense trees lend an immersive, wooded feel.

At the front of the home, the pea gravel driveway doubles as a gathering space, where Adirondack chairs encircle a fire pit near the entrance — an additional vantage point to take in the impressive setting.
