Eli Sanford House for Sale in Redding, 155 Topstone Road

For Sale: 155 Topstone Road, Redding

The incomparable Eli Sanford House, ca 1784. First time on the market in 20 years with only 5 owners since the time that Eli carried his new bride, Anna Stebbins, over the threshold in 1786. This historic Greek Revival farmhouse, recognized by both the Redding Historical Society and The CT Historical Commission, is situated on 4.84 pastoral acres of lush farmland, shaded by 8 towering maple trees and graced by wild raspberry and blackberry bushes, as well as lilacs, mountain laurel, flowering cherry, apple and pear trees.

This quintessential CT retreat offers the 2,430 sf main home with 4 bedrooms, 2 baths; hand-hewn timber post and beams; original antique chestnut wide-board floors; 9' ceilings; 4 brick lined Rumford fireplaces (with Beehive oven in dining room); cedar shingled roof and copper gutters; plus the majestic 1,940 sf carriage barn with 3 bays, covered breezeway, and 970 sf upper storage loft. A potting shed and "2 seat" outhouse complete this bucolic setting in West Redding's most sought after location, just a short walk to New Pond Farm and hiking/swimming at Topstone Park, yet approximately 1 hour to NYC.

While retaining all the charm of yesteryear, the home has been thoughtfully updated for today including true chef's kitchen with Viking prof gas range and SubZero refrigerator; C/A; and exquisite remodel of both full baths combining a playful mix of historic fixtures curated through Loo Loo Designs including 6' claw-foot tub, w/state of the art amenities such as the walk-in steam shower with body jets in the upper bath. Inspiring!
