About 56 Ridge Trail
Nestled within the desirable Cold Springs Saddle & Tennis Club, this modern midcentury retreat, designed by renowned architect Jim Fox, has been thoughtfully renovated and updated for today’s lifestyle while preserving its timeless architectural charm. This three-bedroom home, with a cozy loft sitting area, three full bathrooms, and one-half bath, offers an effortless blend of modern comfort and mountain character. A wraparound patio extends along three sides of the home, providing multiple spaces to relax and entertain amidst the tranquil natural setting while taking in the mountain views. Inside, beautifully refinished wood walls and expansive windows fill the home with warm natural light. Freshly painted accent walls and new custom front doors complement the home’s architectural lines, while refinished wood floors, new carpeting, and updated tile bring a fresh elegance throughout. A modern renovated kitchen features brand new appliances, new cabinetry, new honed granite countertops, and new wood flooring, creating a sophisticated yet functional space for gathering. The living room features a newly-added wet bar to mirror the kitchen’s design for seamless entertaining. The main level now includes a newly added powder room and laundry area, and the primary suite has been reimagined with a fully renovated bathroom showcasing modern tilework and fixtures. Every detail has been considered, including new lighting throughout the home and refinished tilework in each of the home’s full bathrooms. Step outside to the beautifully refinished back patio, where mountain views and cool evening breezes create the perfect setting for gathering with family and friends. The addition of a backyard firepit creates the perfect spot for roasting s’mores under the stars. Surrounded by mature landscaping and tucked away for privacy, the property offers the best of both worlds: peace and seclusion just minutes from town. Enjoy all that Cold Springs has to offer, from scenic walks by the lake and leisurely afternoons of fishing or small boating, to an active lifestyle with tennis and equestrian amenities. Just a short drive from the heart of Highlands, this exceptional home combines architectural pedigree, modern updates, and the unmatched beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
