The Stephen Burr homestead, a landmark estate in historic Redding Center. The original home, now the nucleus of the present home, was built in 1730 and expanded in 1815. Aaron Burr, Vice President of the United States under Jefferson (and Stephen's nephew), summered at this home in his boyhood. This stately center hall antique Colonial manor, set back from the road on a knoll, is impeccably updated and offers high ceilings, original detailing, twelve rooms, four bedrooms, 3 1/2 baths, eight fireplaces (one with a beehive oven and swinging crane), chef's kitchen with soap stone counters and DCS stove, sun-drenched breakfast room, front and back stairs and a walk-up attic featuring 2 rooms and 3 cedar closets. This exceptional 5.4 acre property also includes a circa 1900 two story post and beam barn with attached greenhouse and workshop, a 791 SF two room plus loft rentable guest cottage with kitchen and bath, a Gunite in-ground pool, a cabana with 1/2 bath and two dressing rooms, and a pond. Privacy, mature landscaping, numerous gardens, magnificent old trees, stone walls, stone terrace, pine grove and a sweeping level lawn make this a captivating year-round residence or weekend retreat. Just 56 miles from mid Manhattan in bucolic Redding, CT.
