A pool, 3 patios and privacy
Redding home on 5.71-acre lot is 5 minutes to the train
Enjoying morning coffee on one of the three stone patios overlooking the gently sloping grounds of this magnificent property is without a doubt what Steve Rowland will miss most about this five-bedroom home on Topstone Road in Redding.
“The sun is always magical as the rays filter through the surrounding forest; a gentle steam rises from the pool, and the abundant wildlife slowly stirs to wake for the day,” Rowland describes with appreciation, adding that evening cocktails in the same location are just as amazing.
What captured Rowland’s interest was the private location as well as the convenience that the property offered.
“It was literally love at first sight,” said Rowland. “It was seclusion without being secluded. The long driveway and the surrounding forest provided privacy from the sights and sounds of the fantastic neighborhood, yet we knew we had everything we needed nearby. The house almost took our breath away with its expansive rooms, yet cozy atmosphere.”
The 5,712-square-foot home sits on 5.71 acres just five minutes to the train for commuting into Manhattan. Ideal for a large family looking to escape the city life, the home offers an abundance of room for each family member to have their own space, both inside and outside, along with gathering spaces large enough to host massive family get-togethers. The layout is perfect for at-home learning, working from home, relaxing, and entertaining. It is also complete with an inground gunite pool and spa, plus a legal accessory apartment on the lower level for in-laws, au pair or guests.
The open floor plan boasts a sophisticated country ambience, highlighted by a stunning twostory living room with an impressive floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and wall of double-height windows overlooking the patio and grounds. The living room opens to a spacious dining room that can easily accommodate large gatherings. For ease of entertaining, the dining room adjoins the gourmet kitchen featuring custom
Alder cabinets, granite counters, breakfast bar, walk-in pantry with large wine refrigerator, two dishwashers, and a dining area. A built-in wood fire grill and wet bar provides everything a pampered chef desires.
There is also an inviting family room with fireplace and French doors to the patio. Ideal in-home work areas include a main level office and a gorgeous library with fireplace, beautifully paneled walls of built-in bookcases and cabinetry.
A sunroom with walls of glass, vaulted ceiling, wet bar and wood stove is both cozy in the winter and refreshing in the summer. The sunroom leads to the patio with built-in grill and down to the amazing in-ground pool with spa.
Upstairs, the master suite is a serene escape among a sitting area with floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, a double walk-in closet and master bath with skylights. Separate and down the hall are three bedrooms, one en suite, and another full bath.
The walk-out lower level features a legal accessory apartment comprised of a living room with fireplace, kitchenette with dining area, bedroom and full bath.
“The house, the grounds and the pool and spa are amazing, but there is so much more adjacent to the property to enjoy,” Rowland added. “Topstone Park is a short walk across the street and boasts a lake, beach with lifeguards, boat rental and miles of scenic walking trails. And on top of the excellent public school systems, we are centrally located right between the quaint towns of Redding, Georgetown and Ridgefield, offering tons of unique boutique shopping and dining options.”
