On the Market: Follow the road to this yellow brick house in Easton

Meg Barone

Dorothy Gale followed the yellow brick road to the Emerald City and eventually back to her Kansas farmhouse where, in the emotional conclusion of "The Wizard of Oz," she told Auntie Em: "There's no place like home."

For the next owner of the yellow brick colonial house with the distinguished mansard wood shingle roof at 6 Ridgeway Road in Lower Easton, there will be no place like this home. And as Dorothy said, if she ever goes searching for her heart's desire again she won't look any further than her own backyard. This backyard of almost one level acre provides plenty that the heart will desire - room for entertaining, playing sports and lawn games, and creating flower and vegetable gardens.

It's on the market for $649,000.

The yellow brick colonial house at 6 Ridgeway Road in Easton has a distinguished mansard wood shingle roof. Should the next owners not have a green thumb there are local farms close by, the most immediately accessible being Sherwood Farm and Silverman's Farm to purchase locally grown, fresh-picked produce. Between the two is the Easton Village Store. Also nearby is Morehouse Egg Farm in neighboring Fairfield. Recreational opportunities are provided not only by the backyard, and the finished lower level where there is a game room. Nearby is the the Easton Community Center, Easton Dog Park, Upper Vets Field, preserved open spaces with hiking trails in Easton and Fairfield, and H. Smith Richardson Golf Course in Fairfield.

French doors separate the foyer from the formal living room. The 10-room house was built in 1984 on a corner lot of Ridgeway Road, an attractive tree-lined cul-de-sac, with one side of the property bordering Sport Hill Road (Route 59). Its location places this house only a few miles and minutes from the Merritt Parkway as well as shopping and dining in one direction, and the center of town in the other. Quarried stone pillars topped with lanterns mark the entrance to the paved driveway, which provides ample parking in addition to the attached two-car garage.
