Privacy abounds in this custom built 1986 saltbox colonial. As one enters the home, one is immediately struck by the warm and inviting feeling, which permeates the entire house. Exposed beams, wood accents and built-ins are some of the features that give this home a uniqueness of character and European-like feel. Vaulted ceilings, skylights, French doors and numerous windows, including a greenhouse styled wall, allow for the home to stream natural sunlight and bring the outside indoors. Mature plantings and backyard deck enable undisturbed outdoor entertaining and relaxation. On the main level of the house, the floor plan feels open and airy, yet there still are areas where a door can be closed to allow for a quiet space. Options abound! Upstairs, in addition to the 3 bedrooms (master is ensuite) and family (hall) bathroom, there is an additional room with skylight that could be a home office or den. One of the bedrooms features a bonus loft area! Located in the bucolic town of Redding, this home is ideally situated to take advantage of commuter options (Branchville or West Redding Metro North Stations, Route 7, I-84, I-95 or Merritt Parkway), shopping, dining and leisure time activities. Topstone Park (lake beach, picnic area & trails), Putnam Memorial Park (historic campground, museum & trails), New Pond Farm (environmental & education center and Collis P. Huntington State Park (sculptures & multi use trails) are some of the spots to enjoy in Redding.
