On the Connecticut River with a view of Nature Conservancy-protected land across the banks and the Goodspeed Opera House upriver commands a stunning view. Morning fog lifting off the banks, egrets skimming the water's surface, ice floes jostling downriver, this property has a front row seat to nature’s beauty. Its 3.4 acres is nestled on a bend in the river, with the feeling of being in your own world. The land is as special as the views with natural meadows, moss lawns, mature trees, and meandering perennial beds designed and maintained by the Master Gardener owner. There is also a deep water dock with a lift for small boats. The house is full of charm. Built in 1955 in a vernacular ranch style, and in 1987, a second story was added. Since then, there have been further major renovations. The house has a full basement with a two-car garage and a new furnace and water heater. There are 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, an office, a library, 2 seating areas, 2 dining areas. The first story has an open floor plan whose entire river-facing side is plate-glass windows. The main bedroom occupies the second floor and has a cathedral ceiling, a dressing room, and breathtaking views. The property also includes a guest house that has been used as an income generating rental. It has an additional two-car garage, one bedroom plus a sleeping loft, a living room with kitchenette, and full bath, as well as French doors onto a porch overlooking the river. Do not miss this extraordinary property!
