About This Home

As of June 2023

A home with life and love, history and future, 3659 Redding truly is an extraordinary place. Quintessentially New England, it was originally Goldilocks' Christmas Tree Farm & one can sense a hint of the past intertwined w/ the thoughtfully crafted renovations. The home offers an ode to the 1820s, w/ archway casements, rich millwork, abundant crown, trim & built-ins, yet boasts the amenities desired by today's discerning buyer. Versatility & flexibility abound in this layout, w/ an unexpectedly open floorplan, expansive rooms & outbuildings w/ paddock (pool site). Enter a 2-story foyer to a sizable fireplaced living room, access to the mudroom/rear entrance & dining room w/ wall of sliders to the beautiful bluestone patios. Just off the foyer, the spacious, white kitchen boasts a built-in banquet, a suite of stainless appliances (double refrigerator/freezer), storage galore & massive pantry. Through a double casement comes the real surprise, the family room, centered by a wood-burning fireplace, featuring seating area, windows all around overlooking grounds/patios & entree to the stunning 3-season room. This amazing room realistically brings the outside in! Upstairs, the primary suite is a show-stopper, w/ vaulted ceilings, bountiful light, panoramic views, walk-in closet & primary bath. Completing the 2nd level is hallway bath, 2 bedrooms w/ balcony, privately sited guest suite w/ full bath & laundry. Room for pool & potential finished barn! Brett Woods access on cul de sac!
