Built in 1831

Beloved Antique farmhouse with beautiful property & inground pool. The original house (likely dining room & upstairs playroom) was built in 1799. The rest of the house was completed by 1831. An inviting wrap-around porch leads into the light-filled kitchen, gut-renovated in 2018. The kitchen opens to the dining room (and 1/2 BA & laundry) -- leading to the living room and Primary Suite featuring flex space, BA w/shower & claw foot tub, & huge walk-in closet. From the kitchen towards the back are the walk-thru pantry, the back stairs, and spacious family room w/vaulted ceiling, fireplace (w/propane stove), and French doors opening to stone patio & pergola -- and gorgeous, private back property. Three well-sized bedrooms, 4th smaller bedroom, dressing room w/3 cedar closets, playroom, and large BA (w/stairs leading to full attic) complete the 2nd floor. Barn/garage includes full loft, electrical/water, and two horse stalls used as gardening & pool sheds. Partial stone wall off the patio, w/hydrangeas, fern garden & apple tree, beautifully frames the expansive lawn beyond it. Charming stepping stones lead to the pool. Updates inc: more than 90% windows replaced, CA, generator, electric water heater, roofs, rebuilt chimneys, complete pool renovation - too much to list. Redding - 15 min to shopping/restaurants/entertainment & 25 min to LIS beaches - is rightly called the Vermont of Fairfield County. Natural beauty, love of nature, art & music, small schools...serene perfection.
