20504 NE 40TH AVE

The best of both worlds—peaceful country living and a prime close-in location—await at this freshly painted Craftsman on 5 acres in one of the most convenient Ridgefield settings, just minutes to I-5, I-205, Salmon Creek amenities, and shopping. A wrap-around driveway winds through a grove of apple and pear trees and beneath century-old oaks to a home brimming with charm: hand-scraped walnut hardwoods, a light-filled foyer with railed staircase, a large executive office with custom built-ins, and a kitchen with two-toned shaker cabinetry, granite counters, stainless steel appliances, and a custom island. Upstairs, the soaring-ceiling primary suite is paired with an en-suite, while three additional bedrooms, a large guest bath, and a laundry room with built-in cabinetry provide comfort and function. Recent updates include fresh exterior and porch paint, remodeled baths, upgraded LED lighting, newly built exterior entryway stairs, and the efficiency of well and septic for super-low monthly utilities. Outdoors, enjoy the private covered cedar lined back patio or the iconic front porch, and take advantage of the unique opportunity—per county (buyer to do due diligence)—to build a second residence on the front side of the property, framed by a natural border of the protected wetland. A storage shed with two lean-tos adds practicality, while the property’s location—surrounded by stunning high-end new construction—offers both privacy and prestige. With no HOA to limit your vision, this is a rare Ridgefield gem where beauty, utility, and opportunity meet.
