About this home
Timeless New England Charm. Exceptional Outdoor Living. Tucked into 2.37 acres of beautifully established, park-like grounds, this distinctive Redding residence offers a captivating blend of historic character, modern comfort, and inviting indoor-outdoor living. Light-filled rooms, exposed beams, hardwood floors, and five fireplaces create warmth and character throughout. An updated chef's kitchen and adjoining family room open to a deck nestled among the trees, while gracious gathering spaces invite everything from quiet evenings to lively celebrations. Outdoors, mature trees, sweeping lawns, stone walls, and winding brick walkways create a picturesque retreat. A spectacular 1,000-square-foot stone terrace with a working fireplace offers an unforgettable setting for dining, entertaining, and enjoying the changing seasons. With five bedrooms, four and a half updated baths, and more than 4,100 square feet, the home offers exceptional versatility, including a separate entrance ideal for a private home office or study. Known as the Rebecca Denison Homestead, the property's history dates to 1708, with the present Greek Revival residence built in 1824. Nestled in scenic Fairfield County, Redding offers natural beauty, preserved open spaces, highly regarded schools, and a peaceful country lifestyle within convenient reach of New York City.
