171 Cross Highway Redding, CT 06896

Exquisite remodel & expansion of accomplished architect's own home, resulting in unmatched perfection both inside & out. Ready for summer - new sparkling in-ground, heated pool, with blue-stone coping/patio, gazebo, & classic New England style fence with climbing roses. In her own words: "As an architect, I saw 171 Cross Highway as an unpolished gem in a beautiful setting...virtually no part of the house was left untouched, and much of the landscape too." Set back privately on 2.21 level acres with stone entry pillars; new Victorian style porch w/swing & ceiling fan; Hardie board siding, architectural roof shingles, PVC trim, & virtually all new window/doors. The home's adjacency to a lovely pond was paramount. The restored stone terrace at the pond's edge is now the perfect retreat for spotting great blue herons, geese, ducks, & more. Total 5,072 sf on 3 finished levels w/ 4BR & 2/2 baths. Highest attention to detail: window & door trims inspired by 1800s craftsmanship; solid brass egg-shaped doorknobs; large expanses of windows for pond views; new library w/custom crafted shelving/cabinets; state of the art new kitchen w/antique 1870's Gothic window high in the cathedral ceiling, quartz counters, large center island, 6 burner gas range, 2 ovens, 2 fridges, 2 dishwashers, & new walk-through butler's pantry; new luxe primary suite, spa bath, & dressing area; plus high end lower level remodel featuring dramatic media/billiards room, spacious office/studio, fitness & half bath.
