Located on South Main Street, a notable street of historic homes, this charming circa 1800 home enjoys water views from its living room with a large fireplace. Glass sliders open to a deck that overlooks the beautifully planted gardens and a gazebo. Mature arborvitae gives the garden privacy. The second floor has two bedrooms and one full bath and opens to its own deck that enjoys more water views of the Cove. The 1,200 sq. ft. home is only a few minutes walk to the center of the village for shopping, antiquing, restaurants and art galleries. A few minutes more walking you will pass the historic Griswold Inn then arrive at the majestic Connecticut River and the Connecticut River Museum known for its maritime history and continuous varied events.

Being halfway between New York and Boston, only ten minutes to Amtrak and I-95 and five minutes to Route 9 makes this an ideal home or a fabulous getaway.
