About this home
A rare opportunity to own a meticulously designed enclave set on nearly three private acres overlooking the Connecticut River. The main house has over 4600 square feet of beautifully scaled living space with elegant architectural finishes throughout. The first floor features a welcoming entryway which leads to a well-equipped kitchen, breakfast room, formal dining room, and both a living room and family room with fireplaces. Each room has plenty of windows that bring in natural light and showcase incredible views of the CT River. An elegant curved stairwell leads to the second floor, which is designed with privacy in mind. It features a separate wing for the primary bedroom suite, and another for two guest bedrooms and baths. An elevator services the entire structure, so every room is accessible to all and offers a possible working option for multigenerational living. The compound also features a separate spacious guest house with a full kitchen, sitting room, bedroom, and one- and one-half bathrooms situated next to the inground Gunite pool, offering another private retreat for guests, visitors, or family members to enjoy
