Built in the late 18th century by the local lighthouse keeper, this large 4+ acre property sits high on a bluff overlooking a beautiful stretch of the Connecticut River. The interior of the home has been completely remodeled, including renovations and upgrades to the kitchen and baths, while maintaining the original antique charm. The first floor features two lovely and spacious primary suites, and the two upstairs bedrooms also include en-suite baths. Every room boasts beautiful light and views of the river. Relax on the two river-facing porches and stone patio and enjoy seasonal birdlife including bald eagles and the spectacular aerial display of the swallows. Just down a short path from the house is 480 feet of direct waterfront. Swim directly off the private beach or grab a kayak off the newly built rack. Green thumbs will love the fenced garden with raised beds, and there's plenty of room for storage in the large barn. The spacious open field to the rear offers a tempting mix of opportunities to create your own outdoor lifestyle; add a studio, a guest house, pool, a court, even a dock. Mature trees and stone walls complete the scene. Minutes away, you'll never be bored with the restaurants and shops of Deep River and its neighbors, the charming town of Essex with its Nantucket style Main Street, and Chester known statewide for its fine restaurants. Located halfway between Boston and New York, Deep River is easily commutable via a nearby Metro North and Amtrak station.
