Dazzled

Christmas is a five-sense extravaganza at Cheryl Thomsen’s Bedford home. As soon as you walk through the door you are transported into a happy childhood memory infused with gingerbread men, colorful stockings, and the piney scent of Christmas. Even if it isn’t your memory, it is Thomsen’s and she wants to share the idyllic experience with you. “When people come in I want them to feel like they’re stepping into another world, another place, so for that day they can be living a little fantasy,” says Thomsen.

Small is Beautiful

In her early 70s, Peggy Thomas is an accomplished ceramicist, who decided to downsize from her 4,700-square-foot Ridgefield home. “Finding a home for Peggy was fun but a challenge,” said realtor Terry Cigno. “We needed to incorporate all her passions into a smaller space with a ceramics studio, room for her grandchildren, and a small garden. I thought Tom Litwin would listen to Peggy, and help her realize her vision.”

Dynamic Duo

The road leading to Southview is narrow and long. At a certain point you are sure you’ve made a wrong turn. Then suddenly the gates of the property appear and welcome you to this extraordinary spot. Looking at the house, it is difficult to imagine it the single lonely farmhouse in the middle of a hayfield that it once was.
