Designed as a substantial waterfront country retreat in 1949, this 3,562 square foot house (not including lower level family room with fireplace) is as solid as its stone walls and slate roof above. Meander through 2+acres of park-like grounds along the river's edge and revel in a world of effortless mindfulness. The property is comprised of three lots affording 300 feet along the CT River, including a large sandy beach and stone pier where speedboats of another era were once docked. A mural painted on site in the 1950s resides near the fireplace in the lower level game room as a reminder of the simple joy of waterfront life on this property. That joy remains undiminished today. Once the home of renowned arts and antiques dealer Fenton Brown, many privileged guests have stayed here over the years, including Doris Day! Your turn to be thankful every day for the opportunity to enjoy and share such a rare jewel. Among the many features worth noting in this home are the high barrel ceiling in the spacious family room with fireplace, mahogany coffered ceiling in the dining room, rich wood paneling, French doors, and stone terrace. First-floor bedroom is possible. Updates may be called for, but your imagination will be sparked by the original charm throughout. In a time when decisions are often made based on online presence alone, take a chance, get in your car (or call Uber), and visit this unique property. You will not be disappointed. Nearby quaint villages and just two hours to NYC or Boston.
