About This Home

As of August 2018

The incomparable Eli Sanford House, ca 1784. First time on the market in 20 years w/only 5 owners since the time that Eli carried his new bride, Anna Stebbins, over the threshold in 1786. This historic Greek Revival farm house, recognized by both the Redding Historical Society & The CT Historical Commission, is situated on 4.84 pastoral acres of lush farm land, shaded by 8 towering maple trees & graced by wild raspberry & blackberry bushes, as well as lilacs, mountain laurel, flowering cherry, apple & pear trees. This quintessential CT retreat offers the 2,430 sf main home w/4 BR, 2 BA; hand hewn timber post & beams; original antique chestnut wide-board floors; 9' ceilings; 4 brick lined Rumford fplcs (w/Beehive oven in DR); cedar shingled roof & copper gutters; plus the majestic 1,940 sf carriage barn w/3 bays, covered breezeway, & 970 sf upper storage loft. A potting shed & "2 seat" outhouse complete this bucolic setting in West Redding's most sought after location, just a short walk to New Pond Farm & hiking/swimming at Topstone Park, yet apprx. 1 hour to NYC. While retaining all the charm of yesteryear, the home has been thoughtfully updated for today including true chef's kitchen w/Viking prof gas range & SubZero refrigerator; C/A; & exquisite remodel of both full baths combining a playful mix of historic fixtures curated through Loo Loo Designs incl. 6' claw-foot tub, w/state of the art amenities such as the walk-in steam shower w/body jets in the upper bath. Inspiring!
