45 Picketts Ridge Road, Redding, CT 06896

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 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 reno - too much to list. Redding - 15 min to shopping/restaurants & 25 min to LIS beaches Natural beauty, love of nature, art & music, small schools...serene perfection. **Generator is running while we wait for a new transfer switch. ** The well on the porch is original but isn't used. ** The entrance to the Norwalk River Walk is at the top of the hill on the left. It's beautiful. ** We allow swallows to nest in the garage every summer because they eat mosquitos (and they're beautiful when they fly). We open the garage 1st thing in the am and close it after dark. ** Wide wood flooring in attic.
