Seven acres of rolling hills, gently sloping to the 363 feet of River frontage. This stately colonial was built in 1820. The property contains the beautiful home, two car garage, plus a large barn with a concrete floor, new metal roof in 2018 and a heated and finished room for crafts...office space...guest quarters or what ever you can imagine. It is the perfect combination of renovation and restoration, with updated kitchen cabinets, granite counters, and stainless appliances with unbelievable field and river views. The sliding doors to the newly restored deck opens to a world of barbecues and quiet afternoons of contemplation with beautiful sunsets. . The living room, den, dining room and front foyer are adorned with hardwood floors. The sunny upstairs bedrooms and hallway have wide pumpkin pine floors. The entire home has replacement windows and the current owners replaced the roof with architectural shingles in 2020, super insulated the basement and installed five acres of invisible fencing for the dogs. There are two wells, one for the house and one for the gardens, there is a septic design for an additional septic to service the barn area for future development. This homestead is waiting for your love to go along with all of the love that it has enjoyed throughout the years. Come on over to take a look.
