About this property

This gracious 1830 Colonial on 8 acres is located on one of Redding's Scenic Roads. The main residence with 5 bedrooms and 5 baths delivers an elegant farmhouse ambiance with historical details. The nearly 900 square foot flagstone terrace, especially beautiful in the late afternoon sun and shadow, looks out over a wide, level lawn and beyond to the pool and Har Tru tennis court. Through a covered breezeway, you'll arrive at the office/guest house, once a blacksmith's cottage, featuring a wall of windows, vaulted ceilings and a full bath. The income-producing 2BD cottage is a legal rental accessed via a separate driveway and equipped with a garage and a greenhouse. George Merchant originally farmed this plot granted to him by King George III in the 1700s. It stayed in the Merchant family for two centuries before passing to the Mallory family of Mallory Steamship Lines. Situated near New Pond Farm, the town park, and an Audubon Preserve, this exceptional property is within 10 minutes of 2 Metro North stations and the Route 7 corridor.

I would strongly recommend working with Christine

I can’t think of anything negative to say about Christine. She was very involved along our process to buy our new house. She was on top of the whole deal, making sure that all parties worked well together. The deal may not have happened without such an experienced and professional broker.

We had an excellent experience with Christine

We have already submitted a review but I might as well emphasize what a pleasure it was to work with Christine. She was always responsive and knowledgeable and helpful. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Christine was superb in every phase of our house sale

Christine's communications with us and the buyers were professional, clear and always led to a productive conclusion. She was continually supportive and helpful, despite some obstacles. We enjoyed our interactions with Christine and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone with a house to sell or buy.
