REDDING, CT Sophisticated, mint custom Mid Century Modern set on 2.08 private, picture-perfect acres adjoining the 5th hole of the Redding, CT Country Club Golf Course. Nature's four seasons are on perpetual display from the sweeping lines of the exterior and open concept design of the interior, in a residence that incorporates about 80% glass and wood in its structure. The interior features soaring cathedral ceilings and beams in combination with glass from floor to ceiling, creating a spaciousness that goes on endlessly from the home to the lush manicured landscape into the wooded area that meets the golf course.  Sliders on all sides of the home open onto redwood decks and a covered patio. 


The large, open eat-in kitchen boasts perfect vintage cabinetry by Deane of New Canaan and three exquisite modern Austrian lighting fixtures. The bright, light-filled sunken dining and living rooms are separated by a floor-to-ceiling white ceramic brick fireplace. The primary bedroom features two floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking a green lawn and wooded acreage.  One awakens to nature's beauty every morning and falls asleep to her star-studded skies at night. All three bedrooms have two 15-foot long closets, one above the other, for a total of 30 linear feet of storage in each, in addition to built-in cabinets in one bedroom. A large dressing room and bath off the primary bedroom feature three walls of huge mirrors that sit atop built-in white cabinetry framed by vibrant vintage colors consistent with Mid Century décor. Three artistically sculpted Lightolier fixtures grace and light this area.


The main level laundry room is tucked privately off the kitchen. A large and clean nearly 1000-square foot unfinished (but finishable!) basement is the perfect place for an in-home office or playroom - cool in the summer and warm in the winter. On the exterior, meticulous landscaping and gardens include large, mature rhododendrons, holly bushes, flowering mountain laurel, euonymous and other attractive greenery, as well as concrete Oriental Garden statues and a contemporary metal sculpture.

Updates and amenities include 2019 installation of a Versico roofing system, two-car attached garage with automatic opener, security system linked to police and fire departments, central vacuum, 5-zone central air conditioning, Culligan Water System, capped chimney and portable Generac generator. The residence offers many expansion opportunities for creative thinkers.

Community pluses include being 3 miles from Redding Metro North station, 2 miles from public schools and 15-20 minutes from the Merritt Parkway and I-95. The Redding Country Club right next door offers golf, swimming and dining, and the nearby Redding Community Center provides tennis and many family and senior activities. The famous Mark Twain library is 3 miles away. The bucolic town of Redding includes scenic farms, state and local parks with water and spectacular views and 66 miles of walking trails. New York City is an easy 1 ½ hour commute.
