About This Home
As of December 2020Timeless stone home overlooking Goodwives River offers charm, character and convenience to the discerning buyer. This 1930's beauty was completely restored and renovated in 2003 but retains all its special elements including casement windows, slate roof, 9' ceilings, and floor to ceiling stone fireplaces. The recently refreshed kitchen with Carrara marble counters, island, top grade appliances and wine fridge flows seamlessly into the family room with coffered ceiling and fireplace. Windows on three sides of the Living Room with wet bar take advantage of the natural view of the private side yard, and opens to the patio and deck - a perfect situation for entertaining. Tranquil Master suite with fireplace, sitting room, and bath with double sinks, soaking tub and shower is a welcome sanctuary, and all other en-suite bedrooms have updated baths and hard wood floors. Amazing light throughout. The 1+ acre property is completely fenced. Gated access to the river leads to Gorham's Pond allowing for kayaking and SUPing in the summer, and ice skating in the winter. Short walk or bike ride to the beach. Minutes from town and train. A very special home waiting for its next lucky owner.
