Expect the unexpected with this Colonial-not-a-Colonial vintage home. Endless best features begin with the front-to-back living room flooded with light from the wall of French doors opening to the veranda & pool. A lovely ambiance is set by the simple fireplace, and by the ceiling beams & wide board floors that continue through the entertainment space into the dining room, bright & light pouring in from the oversized window. A very modish curved window looks into the climate-controlled greenhouse, perfect for party overflow or starting spring seeds. The original kitchen, w/open shelves & lots of counter & storage space, serves as the ultra Butler's pantry. Heading towards the back, the newer kitchen features new appliances, views of the beautiful yard & dining area. The library, lined with bookshelves & warmed by a charming fireplace, leads into the spacious main floor Master Suite. French doors open to the pool terrace from both rooms a sweet romantic touch. Upstairs finds an ensuite bedroom w/vaulted ceiling, a 2nd bedroom w/delightful built-ins, and a huge studio/office/4th bedroom w/lots of built-in storage. Unexpected surprise: the newly rebuilt 26' x 11' deck overlooking the heated gunite pool & stunning Western views. A perfect home for the laidback Redding lifestyle, a love of nature ~ 100's of acres for hiking/kayaking ~ small-scale schools, iconic Mark Twain Library, two meditation centers, winery, breweries ~ all minutes to Ridgefield/Metro North/LI Sound beaches.
