SUBMIT HIGHEST & BEST by Monday, 2/13 5pm... An exceptional antique barn house surrounded by 5.3 acres of stunning property. Previously owned and loved for 63 years by fine artist Arthur Shilstone, the current owners fell into deep love with the barn and the land, expecting to continue enjoying and caring for this extraordinary property as the Shilstones had. An unexpected overseas move offers a wonderful opportunity to continue this tradition. The barn offers an updated, open kitchen, large living room w beautiful vintage French doors opening to side patio, exposed beams, four large bedrooms and 2.5 baths. The astonishing Great Room, with the 2+ story window, lovely fireplace, and breathtaking views of the property and pond, defines the history and the beauty of this oh-so-special home. In a short time thoughtful updates have been made inc the open, light-filled kitchen with exposed beams, butcherblock counters & a toasty-warm pellet stove; expanded yard & driveway, raised gardens, new floors in living room & primary bedroom, new floors/vanities in upstairs bathrooms. Other updates inc new septic, new well pump/UV system & pond aerators. The workshop off the kitchen has plenty of room for washer/dryer. 42 Picketts Ridge Road personifies the vibe of Redding...steps to Norwalk River Trail, rural feeling 53 miles from NYC, small-scale schools, love of nature (hiking, kayaking, swimming), family farmstands & the wonderful history of Mark Twain Library.
