Enchanting masterpiece! This 1928 stone English Cotswold Cottage has been completely renovated from driveway to doorstop to exquisite standards on 6.59 private acres with a scenic aerated pond, abutting hundreds of acres of open space and access to hiking trails. The idyllic setting is tucked away at the end of a desirable, lower Redding cul-de-sac. An open floor plan with charming kitchen, spacious sunroom, fireplace, 4 bedrooms and 4.5 marble baths welcomes you. Treehouse views from all bedrooms makes this fairytale retreat the perfect getaway or country home! The woodland private setting is minutes to schools, train, library, shops, restaurants, and services. Redding, often selected as the #1 Small Town in CT, offers award-winning schools, wonderful parks, countless hiking trails, waterfalls, organic farmers markets, New Pond Farm, great restaurants, and the Mark Twain Library. Redding Country Club is 5 minutes away with pool, tennis, superb golf course and fine dining. Westport beaches within 15 minutes; Manhattan within 56 miles. Turnkey ready!
The cottage may be sold fully furnished with all of the state-of-the-art conveniences and wonderful antique furniture, rugs and fine art for $100k - detailed lists available. * Marble Counter tops * Circle Driveway with Asphalt Pavers ****Possible Pool Sites - Per Pools by Al #1 choice is—looking to the front of the house—the area to the right of the stone porch. Besides having a good stretch of area before getting into wetland, a pool and deck could be expanded out past the current concrete steps leading down to the backyard-pond, creating a retaining wall and elevated view down onto the pond from a pool deck. The other advantage to this sight is that it gets good full sun most of the day having sky exposures to the east (toward the pond) to the south (toward the neighbor’s house) and to the west (toward the driveway entrance). #2 choice is behind the garage but above the septic tank further down the slope (which I’m pretty sure is the stick marker further down the slope). This area has already been permitted for a terrace and would provide excellent access to the house via the back mudroom door and the sun porch door. The one disadvantage to this locale is that the garage and upper bedroom would shade the pool later in the afternoon with the sun going down toward Glen Hill Rd.
