83 River Rd Deep River, CT 06417

Sited high on a bluff overlooking the Connecticut River, this classic

New England Cape was built in the late 18th Century by the local

lighthouse keeper. It was enlarged over the years and completely

remodeled in 2011-2016 with all new kitchen and baths, while still

retaining much of its original antique charm.

French doors open from the living room onto a stone terrace with

garden and river views while the dining room opens onto one of the two

outdoor porches. A second sitting room as well as a library extend

from the living/dining areas to the front of the old Cape and the

second porch just above the river. Outside are mature plantings, stone

walls and a barn/storage building.

The home is located on 4 plus acres, with over 480 feet of direct

frontage on a beautiful and serene stretch of the River. With water

views from every room the setting allows for much privacy as well as

ample space for a studio, guest house, pool, dock, and even a possible

subdivision.

River Road in Deep River is a much sought-after location, with quick

access by boat to Long Island Sound, and a short drive to the

neighboring town of Chester to the north, known for its fine

restaurants, and Essex to the south, a popular tourist destination

with its charming Main Street and shops. Deep River is located

equidistant from New York and Boston, easily accessible by car or

train, yet far enough away from the hubbub and hassles of the

city. Truly a safe, peaceful and secure sanctuary.
