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.
