83 River Rd, Deep River, CT 06417

Sited high on a bluff overlooking the Connecticut River, this classic New England Cape was built in the late 18th Century by the local lighthouse keeper. It was enlarged over the years and completely remodeled in 2011-2016 with all new kitchen and baths, while still retaining much of its original antique charm. French doors open from the living room onto a stone terrace with garden and river views while the dining room opens onto one of the two outdoor porches. A second sitting room as well as a library extend from the living/dining areas to the front of the old Cape and the second porch just above the river. Outside are mature plantings, stone walls and a barn/storage building. The home is located on 4 plus acres, with over 480 feet of direct frontage on a beautiful and serene stretch of the River. With water views from every room the setting allows for much privacy as well as ample space for a studio, guest house, pool, dock, and even a possible subdivision. River Road in Deep River is a much sought-after location, with quick access by boat to Long Island Sound, and a short drive to the neighboring town of Chester to the north, known for its fine restaurants, and Essex to the south, a popular tourist destination with its charming Main Street and shops. Deep River is located equidistant from New York and Boston, easily accessible by car or train, yet far enough away from the hubbub and hassles of the city. Truly a safe, peaceful and secure sanctuary.
