Set on two beautifully landscaped acres at the site of the old town ferry landing, the property features a wraparound porch, expansive deck, and a private balcony off the primary suite - all with sweeping river vistas.
The park-like lot includes old-growth black walnut trees, maples, and other mature plantings, with stone terraces leading through extensive gardens to the peaceful riverfront. A true architectural highlight, the two-car barn combines form and function with a loft for storage and a dedicated woodworking shop.
Inside, the home offers four bedrooms and 2.5 baths, blending historic character with tasteful updates. The sun-filled kitchen features stainless steel appliances and detailed woodwork. The dining room is enhanced by an antique chandelier and built-in cabinet, while the double living rooms showcase hardwood floors, river views, and a charming corner fireplace.
Upstairs, the spacious primary suite includes two rooms, a full ensuite bath with soaking tub and separate shower, and a private balcony overlooking the gardens and river. The finished attic provides a versatile bonus area - ideal for a playroom, studio, or additional storage. The daylight walkout basement offers easy access to the yard and riverfront and includes a newer, efficient boiler.
The blend of historic grace, thoughtful updates, and rare riverfront setting, this Hampden home is a true gem offering beauty, space, and tranquility just minutes from town.
