About This Home

As of August 2016

On the banks of the Falls River,"Riverleigh" is an antique home that has been meticulously expanded and renovated under the guidance of a noted historic architect and premier building company. The essence of fine design, outstanding craftsmanship, superior materials and attention to detail have created a home ready to meet future generations. Three newly constructed fireplaces and an original wood burning one warm the open spaces that are highlighted with custom built-ins, paneling, reclaimed hand hewn beams and wide board floors. The family room and eat-in kitchen boasts a La Canche stove imported from France, finely milled cabinets, soap stone counters tops, and views of the River through banks of windows and French Doors. The Dining Room and adjoining Living Room are well appointed and open to a large deck for summer entertaining. Perfect for quiet reflection, the library enjoys it's own fireplace and bookcases. On the upper level, the Master bedroom will delight the most discerning Buyer. A new fireplace, cathedral ceilings, double walk-in closets, private bath, and many built-ins for storage as well as dreamy views make this the aerie of the home. Three additional guest rooms complete this floor. On the lower walk out level, a paneled tap room with field-stone floor will charm all. There are several outbuildings including a two bay garage, a recently built heated studio, and potting shed. A short distance from the restaurants and shops of Essex Village. Special!
