Located minutes from the town of Bridgewater, overlooking the Lahave River and privately set within a mature canopy of forest, this beautiful updated heritage home is a remarkable property. Built in 1865, the home retains its original architectural details with a symmetrical floor-plan. Each front room has a bay window with one room containing a small wood burning stove. Period wide wood moldings, wood floors, and high ceilings continue throughout the home. A small half bathroom has been conveniently tucked beneath the front staircase. The two story extension at the rear of the house has been fully renovated, which includes a new contemporary kitchen on the first level, and full bath and laundry on the second level. The contemporary kitchen includes a large island with induction cooktop, heat pump, plenty of cabinet space, and a year round solarium. New large windows look out towards the river. New oak flooring has been installed in all rooms on the first floor, including the kitchen and solarium. Walk out from the solarium to a new deck perched on the bank amongst the treetops. The second floor features four large bedrooms off of a wide central hall with a Lunenburg bump. The newly renovated full bath comes complete with an extra deep bathtub and tiled shower. The full-height basement has concrete floors and would make a great workshop, and contains a convenient garage door entrance. All electrical and plumbing has been updated, including a new electrical panel with separate generator panel. The gorgeous seasoned gardens lead to manicured paths affording leisurely walks through your woods along the riverside. Or jump in a kayak and explore the river and it's abundant wildlife. The property is adjacent the "Rails To Trails" and would be ideal for cyclists, runners, walkers or nature lovers alike seeking the atmosphere of a retreat, while having the convenience of being close to town amenities.
