313 Umpawaug Road
Redding, Connecticut

Description:

Nestled on a picturesque country road in the heart of Redding, this National Register of Historic Places landmark offers a rare blend of 18th-century soul and modern New England estate living. The home's historic integrity is preserved through twin stone chimneys, original wide-plank flooring, and exquisite period woodwork. Sun-filled living spaces flow seamlessly from the warm central hall to a spacious kitchen and inviting dining areas-ideal for both everyday comfort and sophisticated entertaining. The layout provides exceptional flexibility, featuring generous bedrooms and additional rooms perfectly suited for a home office, den, or guest wing. Set on two serene acres of curated gardens and mature trees, the exterior offers a peaceful retreat for outdoor gatherings or quiet mornings in nature. While seemingly worlds away in its rural tranquility, 313 Umpawaug Road in prestigious West Redding is located just minutes from top-rated schools, hiking trails, and the charming town center. Once the residence of Continental Army soldier Aaron Barlow, this 1723 Georgian gem served as a strategic hub for General Israel Putnam and a literary sanctuary where the famed Joel Barlow penned The Vision of Columbus in 1787. A rare opportunity to own a living piece of history, meticulously maintained for the modern steward.
