About the Home

Charming turn-of-the-century Craftsman farmhouse on one of Redding's most picturesque Scenic Roads - a rare find for those seeking space, character, and a genuine sense of place within reach of the city, but worlds away from it. Featuring authentic period details including crown molding, a bay window, beautiful hardwood floors, and soaring 9-foot ceilings, this three-bedroom, two-bath home balances historic charm with thoughtful modern updates. A newly expanded primary suite and a brand-new full bath on the second floor - complete with new HVAC - make the home as comfortable as it is characterful. Once the original switchboard for Redding Ridge, the property sits on a large, level lot with mature landscaping, spectacular perennial gardens that bloom spring through fall, a deck, brick terrace, and storage shed. The new roof and all-new windows mean the big work is done - just move in. Beyond the property itself, Redding delivers the lifestyle that's increasingly hard to find closer to the city: miles of open space, hiking trails, and beloved local institutions like the Mark Twain Library, New Pond Farm, Huntington State Park, and Putnam Park. It's a town with a strong sense of community, where weekends mean farmers markets and trail walks, not traffic. Additional highlights include an EV charger, generator, and 25 years of careful stewardship. History, updates, and room to grow - all in one of Connecticut's most desired small towns.
