155 Umpawaug Rd, Redding, CT 06896

This stone and clapboard house has great bones, just waiting for an artisanal touch/vision. Designated scenic road supports making the investment in renovations. Newer well & septic. Flexible floor plan includes 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, family room, kitchen, living room & den, both with fireplaces, and a sun porch on the main level. Large Master bedroom with huge windows & full bath on the second level offers a nice get-away. Home is well back from the road and surrounded by pretty property, quiet and private. Opening up the kitchen to the dining & living rooms would bring perfection & add value. Good location on the west side of Redding ~ the best-kept secret in Fairfield County ~ 15 minutes or less to shopping, tons of restaurants & Ridgefield's charming Main Street. Small-scale, award-winning schools, a love for the outdoors (hundreds of acres of hiking trails, swimming & kayaking at Huntington State Park & Topstone Park), iconic Mark Twain Library (google the Pudd'nhead Festival), family-owned farm stands and, most of all, a strong & engaged community combine to define the Redding lifestyle ~ unrushed and authentic. As Mark Twain said after he settled in Redding, "How beautiful it is."
