Picture starting your morning watching the sun rise over the water and ending your day with peaceful river views from almost every room in your home. Set on 2 acres along the majestic Housatonic river near Cornwall Bridge, 16 River Road has been completely transformed by a major renovation in 2024 into a modern waterfront sanctuary, while keeping its timeless antique character intact. Inside, refinished hardwood floors and classic antique detailing lead you to the open living and dining area, where a wood-burning fireplace creates a warm, cozy atmosphere. Large, new windows frame direct views of the river, pulling the beauty of the outdoors inside. For a closer look at the water, step out to the screened-in porch with its beautiful stone floor-an ideal setting for your morning coffee or evening wine. The brand-new chef's kitchen is a design masterpiece, combining custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, a bespoke stone backsplash, and a farmhouse sink. Equipped with a full suite of 2024 stainless-steel Frigidaire appliances (fridge-freezer, dishwasher, electric range, microwave, and hood), the kitchen also boasts a built-in wine fridge and a dedicated coffee station. Upgraded electrical systems with recessed lighting and dimmers allow you to set the perfect mood throughout. The main-level primary suite is your private oasis, complete with direct river views and an ensuite bath that rivals any spa. Indulge in the clawfoot tub, wash away the day in the massive walk-in shower, or get ready at the built-in dressing table and double vanities. Two upstairs bedrooms also feature direct river views, offering beautiful, scenic spaces for family or guests. A second full bath on this level has been given the full 'country chic' look. Convenient main-level laundry with a washer and dryer makes daily living effortless. Located in bucolic Sharon, Connecticut, just moments from the historic Cornwall Bridge and with all the classic country pursuits on your doorstep, including skiing at Mohawk Mountain just a 7 min drive away. This meticulously updated home seamlessly marries classic Litchfield County character with high-end modern conveniences, offering a truly unique turn-key waterfront lifestyle.
