Open the sliders to the bedroom balcony and listen to the West River flow by at night. Walk across the road and swim at your own private beach on the West River during the day. Balconies and skylights galore! This contemporary house, sitting on a beautiful spot on bucolic River Road, offers privacy and closeness to nature. Besides the balcony off the bedroom, there is a balcony off the living room. The wood stove in the living room provides charm as well as heat. The four-level design expands the feeling of space. The vaulted ceiling in the kitchen and dining room offers a bit of drama. The mudroom, entered on the basement level, allows a practical way to keep things clean. The seller just painted.
