Description
This property is no longer available to rent or to buy. This description is from January 14, 2022
Welcome to "Long Stones", an iconic Redding property once owned by Daniel Carter Beard, illustrator of Mark Twain's books and founder of the Boy Scouts of America. This masterfully restored Antique retains its original detailing and character, yet it is perfectly suited for today's lifestyle. The bucolic 3.87 acre country retreat includes the 1812 manor house, an historic 19th century Carriage House with two legal one bedroom apartments plus a horse stall with tack room, an in-ground pool, an antique post & beam salt box that now serves as the detached garage, a chicken coop, and a potting shed. The five bedroom, four updated bath main residence has beautiful antique quarter sawn oak, southern red pine and Canadian pine wide board floors throughout, original beams, four fireplaces, and numerous built-ins. The chef's kitchen features Colorado Alderwood cabinetry, granite counters, center island with a 5 burner propane cook top, double wall ovens, a Vermont soapstone sink, a walk-in pantry, and large dining area. The adjoining butler's pantry has restored stainless steel counters and numerous cabinets. There are three stairways, a fully floored walk-up attic with a huge cedar closet, two terraces, a secret garden, a picturesque brook with waterfall and small pond, exquisite perennial gardens, old growth trees, 1/2 basketball court, lightly wooded field and extensive stone walls and rock outcroppings. An exceptionally rare and peaceful weekend escape or full time residence. The post and beam Carriage House/Barn with horse stall also has two income producing apartments, both of which are currently rented. The ground floor, one bedroom apartment with living room, kitchen and bath opens to a terrace. The second floor apartment has a cathedral ceiling great room with kitchen and dining area, bedroom, hall bath and a large storage area. The combined area of both apartments is approximately 1206 square feet. This signature estate is located in the town referred to by the NY Times as "an upscale town with upcountry style". Redding, only 56 miles from Manhattan, is known for preserving open space, its hundreds of acres of hiking trails, private golf course, the Mark Twain Library (within walking distance of this property), New Pond Farm, and two State Parks, each nearly 600 acres. Close to shops, restaurants, schools and all major transportation routes. Room measurements approximate.

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageTerrible. I taught my child almost everything he needed to know. Other than meeting so nice kids and enjoying recess, I feel the time he spent in the classroom was a complete waste of time. I taught him to read, write, spell, add, substract, multiply, divide, sight words, grammar, all of it. I often wondered “what are you doing all day at school”? I would find out there was very little science and social studies. When he was behind in reading, he got sent out for help and it did little to get him up to speed. I ended up getting him up to speed at home. He had never really been taught proper grammar (I was told by 3rd grade teacher it’s not in the curriculum), so I taught him that too. Teachers were having him log onto a computer program called Reflex for basic math skills. There was very little instruction and then reinforcement. They would teach “mini lessons” then have them work on their own. I don’t know, it just didn’t seem like the time spent at school was spent in a meaningful, educational way. A lot of the things they did was “busy work” and silly projects. So he would come home and I would teach him what he needed to know. After RES, we literally left the whole district and enrolled him into private school. What a difference and what a shame that people move to Redding for the schools, pay high taxes because they think they’re getting a good editor their children, but really aren’t. Save your money and don’t move to Redding if it’s just for the education. You’ll find a better education elsewhere.Parent Review3y ago - Joel Barlow High School
