Fawcett Homes: The Ridgefield | Architect: Stefan Gudmunson | photos: John Enney

YOU WOULD NORMALLY expect the occupant of a dashing, modern house to be a go-getter by nature. On the other hand, you would expect the owner of the Ridgefield to be one who has learned to relax and to enjoy life at an easier pace.

Here is a home where you can do a heap of leisurely living. Vital features include: Large living room with a dining room off- set, occupying a total area of more than 250 square feet and with picture windows facing both the front and rear. . . A large corridor-type kitchen with a space for a breakfast nook overlooking the rear garden... Powder room near the front entrance . . . Three bedrooms. . . Family bathroom off the center hall... Attached garage that helps extend the roof line and makes the Ridgefield look larger than its actual cost would suggest . . . A full basement for family fun.

Here, indeed, is a well-designed house.
