About this home
This inviting, bright, expanded, three bedroom Ranch home is located on prestigious Poverty Hollow Road in the town referred to by the New York Times as an "Upscale Town with Upcountry Style". The tranquil and peaceful setting is enhanced by sweeping views of the pond from the expansive front yard, wonderful front porch, and many of the interior rooms. The large living room has a wood burning fireplace, built-in bookcases, and a window seat overlooking the pond. French doors in the dining room open into a vaulted sun room with skylights. The country kitchen is open to the vaulted family room which opens to the back yard, stone terrace, gardens and gas grill. The en-suite primary bedroom has two closets and an updated bath with vaulted ceiling and a skylight. There are two additional bedrooms that share an updated hall bath. Redding, the hidden gem of Fairfield County, is only 56 miles from Manhattan. It values safety and preservation of open space, a laid back lifestyle and a vibrant community spirit. Enjoy its hundreds of acres of hiking trails, private golf course, New Pond Farm, the Mark Twain Library, and two State Parks, each nearly 600 acres. Convenient to shops, schools and all major transportation routes.
