Fresh Update for a Classic Connecticut Home - Discover a beautifully restored 1955 waterfront classic. Stunning panoramic water views, privacy and walk-to-town convenience. Ascend to the family room, crowned with cathedral ceilings and expansive windows that invite the breathtaking views of the Connecticut River. A Danish gas fireplace adds a touch of sophistication, creating a cozy yet chic atmosphere year-round. At the heart of the home lies a vast chef's kitchen, a culinary masterpiece equipped with top-tier appliances and exquisite millwork by a master craftsman, ensuring both style and functionality. There is a butler's pantry, an elegant paneled library with water views, as well as an outdoor shower in the garden. The entertainment quotient soars in the spacious playroom, complete with a vaulted ceiling, a chic bar, and a sub-zero wine cooler, setting the stage for memorable games of ping pong and billiards. This riverside haven is graced with two large, sumptuous en-suite guest rooms. An entirely new primary bedroom suite was added to the original house in 2021. Gorgeous views from the primary bed as well as an extra-large dressing area and jaw-dropping primary bathroom with vaulted ceilings. Part of the restoration and renovation was the addition of a sleek new garage, housing a gym designed to cater to the wellness-minded. Step outside to the grand granite-covered terrace, a stage for outdoor living, where you can savor al fresco dining or enjoy sitting out under the stars at the fire pit. The owner took great care to keep the charm of the original house while expanding it for modern living. Whole house generator and whole house water filtration system. Exercise room/Gym over the garage is climate controlled. Total renovation with copper gutters, standing-seam roof was completed in 2021-2022.
