A rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully updated antique home with a separate guest cottage, set on 1.66 picturesque acres in Redding, blending timeless character with modern livability in a way that is increasingly hard to find. A welcoming foyer with a vaulted ceiling sets the tone, leading into a sunlit living room anchored by a gas fireplace, custom built-ins, and a large picture window. The space flows easily into the dining area and an updated kitchen, creating a natural layout for both everyday living and entertaining. Just beyond, a light-filled family room with Saltillo tile floors and oversized windows opens through French doors to a crushed stone patio, where a fire pit and mature hydrangeas create an ideal setting for outdoor gatherings and quiet evenings alike. The main level also features the primary bedroom, offering ease and flexibility, while upstairs includes two additional bedrooms, a full bath with laundry, and a separate bonus space well-suited for a home office or reading nook. Adding to the property's appeal is a separate one-bedroom cottage with a full bath, living room, kitchenette, and its own heating system, an exceptional option for guests, work-from-home needs, or creative use. Set amid established landscaping with a sense of privacy and calm, this storybook home lives beautifully day to day, with the added flexibility and character that make it truly stand apart.
