  123 Black Rock Tpke, Redding, CT – $549,000
  3 bed, 4 bath, 2864 square feet on 1.4 acres.

  Unique, charming and with substantial updates, the “Gerhsam Beers” house, Circa 1791 is one of Redding Ct’s oldest recognized homes. Set on beautiful property boasting an inground pool, both flat and terraced terraine, gardens and a fieldstone patio, this home combines all the appeal of a period home with modern conveniences not usually found in an antique home. 3 very large bedrooms, 4 charmingly renovated full baths, including a private master bath with claw foot tub, one “en suite” bedroom plus a very large family room are just some of the features that make this antique home truly appealing. Add the character of 5 fireplaces, one each in the living room, dining room, family room, keeping room and one bedroom, wide width pumpkin pine floors, nooks and crannies and cubbies, a pool in a tranquil setting and a screened in porch overlooking gorgeous property all make this home a rare find at a fantastic price!

  Check out the aerial view and street view.
  

  

  
  

  

  
  

  

  Wow, that water looks ice cold!

  
  

  

  See that little blue dot in the center, behind the trees? That is the swimming pool.

  
  

  

  
  

  

  Wow, I think these beautiful floors would make a grown man cry. (Except maybe Timmy. I showed him and all he said was, “Yeah, those are nice.” Nice?! Nice?! Those are fantastic, extraordinary, crazy beautiful floors! Nice…umph.)

  
  

  

  
  

  

  
  

  

  The sunporch.

  
  

  

  
  

  

  
  

  

  The master bath (I think), has a clawfood tub.
