Rarely does one of Redding’s original antique homes come to market. Immaculately restored and updated, 74 Sport Hill Rd presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a 1770 home on 6 park-like acres with the added benefit of being surrounded by an 80 acre preserve. Serenity, privacy and space make this a special and exciting offering. Six bedrooms and five and a half baths make this the perfect retreat with room for all your family and friends. This architecturally significant house has been painstakingly renovated and restored to accentuate the history of the home while adding all the modern conveniences of today. The primary suite features stunning views of the property and en-suite classic marble bathroom with large shower featuring rain shower head. Two secondary bedrooms share a hall bath and the three other guest suites all have en-suite bathrooms for ultimate privacy. The attic was converted to a light-filled gym or playroom with heat and air conditioning. “Squires,” named after the original owner Squire James Sanford, has been upgraded with a fully integrated solar power system with whole-house backup batteries, no generator needed! The forced air central heat/AC system was completely overhauled with four zones, high efficiency boiler and hot water heater.
