A Rare and Exceptional Treasure. First time on the market in 55 years, this notable ca 1750 Colonial is rich in history and is counted among the earliest settlements in Redding. Hand-hewn post and beams, original fireplaces, wide-board flooring, original windows, nooks and crannies and a stone-lined beehive baking oven are just a few of the authentic features that grace this stunning rambler. And then, there's the Barn... an absolutely spectacular structure and a classic post and beam construction with towering ceilings, loft, stalls, original windows, cupola, storage, workshop and that is adaptable for use as a garage as well. NOTEWORTHY: NEW barn roofing will be installed and fencing will be repaired and painted! All this, and more... a large shed with loft, a walk-up attic, a whole house auto generator and an expansive, level 2-acre lot with mature landscape and native stone walls, over 3,000 square feet of living space in the home, and 2,100+ square feet in the Barn. Bring your inspiration, passion and ingenuity to restore and preserve the deep-rooted spirit and the enduring legacy of this remarkable homestead. Sought-after Redding Ridge location, convenient to train, schools, area shopping and commuter routes and only 65 miles to the Upper West Side of Manhattan.
