Designer vision and tasteful renovations converted the historic home to a place for all seasons. A great quiet retreat or weekend getaway, this is the home that family and friends want to flock to on hot summer weekends or cool holiday events. Take a swim in the secluded pool providing supreme privacy for those who want to get away. When there is a chill in the air, snuggle up in front of one of the many fireplaces. Any time of the year, the gourmet kitchen is perfect. This turn key home leaves you with only some fun decorating decisions to make. No major renovations are needed as baths, kitchen and most of the mechanics have been updated. Located high and dry above the river on private grounds with pool and pole barn, the original character was retained throughout with exposed hewn beams and random width pumpkin pine flooring, while still incorporating today's lifestyle amenities. The kitchen is loaded with modern features like beautiful custom cabinetry, a Viking range, warming drawer, and farm and copper sinks - although its historic ambiance shines through. A large, sunny living room with fireplace is a cheerful place to put your feet up and watch TV. Around the corner, the dining room with fireplace is large enough to fit an extra-long table and good conversation. A year-round garden room with the original bread oven connects to the patio for easy entertaining in the warm months. Three bedrooms plus a home office are all generously scaled with plenty of closet storage. Both bathrooms are up-to-date and blend superbly with the rest of the home. A walk-up, windowed attic with straight stairs adds to the storage. *New septic in 2008, new roof, gutters, trim and exterior painted in 2015, new pool liner in 2014, and heated floors in mudroom.*
