About This Home

Discover the quintessential Redding lifestyle in this charming circa 1898 home, perfectly positioned to enjoy the town's excellent schools, open space, and recreational opportunities like hiking, fishing, and kayaking. This 2/3 bedroom (3rd bedroom being used as a study) residence features a 3-bedroom septic system, central air and 2 full bathrooms, offering versatile living options. Step inside to discover timeless character with original hardwood floors and high ceilings. The living areas and 2 bedrooms are highlighted by four fireplaces-three decorative and one fully functional with a heater insert - adding warmth. The dining room boasts exposed beams, original leaded glass windows while newer windows throughout the remainder of the house ensure modern efficiency. Relax and unwind on the inviting covered and screened front porch. Need flexible space? The partially heated basement has been used as a home office, and a newer, spacious shed on the property offers endless potential as a workshop or a creative studio. Additionally, existing expansion plans-drawn up by previous owners-are available to help you visualize future possibilities (not submitted for town approval). Ideally located for an easy commute, you are just moments from Joel Barlow High School and the convenient shopping hubs of Bethel and Georgetown. A rare opportunity to embrace the peace of Redding living while staying connected to it all.
