Property Description

Luxury, privacy, and a peaceful setting come together on this stunning 3-acre estate in the heart of Defiance. Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in sought-after Ridgefield Farms, this beautifully updated ranch is surrounded by mature trees and natural beauty. The property feels like a secluded retreat while remaining just minutes from highways, wineries, restaurants, parks and conservation areas and top-rated Francis Howell schools. Inside, the combination of natural light and vaulted ceilings create an inviting sense of space, while new luxury vinyl flooring throughout much of the main level adds warmth, durability, and modern style. The beautifully refreshed kitchen serves as the heart of the home, featuring granite countertops, freshly painted cabinetry, updated finishes and newer stainless steel appliances. The large area adjacent to the kitchen serves as additional storage and pantry space and could be creatively utilized for a variety of functions. The spacious main living area has a functional wood burning stove and flows seamlessly to the deck overlooking the pool and woods beyond, creating an ideal setting for gatherings large and small. The spacious main-floor primary suite is a private retreat with dual walk-in closets and a luxurious bath complete with double vanities, a soaking tub, and separate shower. Two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and main-floor laundry provide comfortable everyday living, while the finished walkout lower level offers flexibility with two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and large recreation space that walks out to the patio and pool. Step outside to discover what sets this property apart. With a backyard designed for making memories, it features an 18' x 36' in-ground pool (new liner in 2024), a dedicated pool house with a half-bath, multiple entertaining spaces, and views of the surrounding woods. Recent improvements are sure to keep the home low cost and low maintenance for years to come. Thoughtful enhancements include an impact-resistant exterior featuring Owens Corning Storm Class IV shingles (2025) and premium Diamond Kote siding (including fascia, soffits, & trim in 2025). An upgraded front entry door with expansive sidelights and a refurbished deck surface complemented by new aluminum railings all completed in the past year. The oversized side-entry garage includes a newly added service door and creates a perfect space for a workshop, hobby area, or additional storage access. For added value, the septic system was replaced in 2023, complete with a new tank and drain field. Opportunities to own a low maintenance property with a huge private lot, extensive updates, and established neighborhood appeal are increasingly rare...don't miss your chance to be the next owner!
