Light, bright and open! If you want easy living, look no further. This 4-bedroom home lives like a one-level ranch with a bonus lower level space. Vaulted ceilings, wooden beams and an open floor plan create an expansive feeling which makes it easy to keep tabs on all that is occuring but still offers separate spaces. There are two large ensuite bedrooms -- one for the primary owners and one that is great for long-term guests. Or maybe an au pair. Two additional bedrooms share a hall bath. Daily hanging out is likely to be in the family room that is open to the kitchen but think of all the possibilities for the living room with its built-in shelves and a spaciousness that the current owners' daughters found perfect for dance performances! Looking to spend time outside? A nearly 900 sq. ft. deck provides room for tables and hammocks. And the well-landscape planting beds offer beautiful vistas year 'round. In the lower level there is a heated lower level that can adapt to a mutitude of uses -- office, rec room, gym. And don't miss the large storage area tucked behind at the back of the 2 car garage. Lawn equipment finds a home in the detached shed. Plenty of parking and a deer fence are added bonuses. All of this in the lovely town of Redding with its top rated school system, recreation areas and extensive open space. Just minutes from Rt. 7 this home has easy access to Ridgefield, Wilton and Danbury. Multiple offers received. Highest and best by 5 pm Tuesday.
