Cathedral and vaulted ceilings collaborate to fill this custom contemporary with light and air. Sited on almost 3 acres in a sought-after river neighborhood, this architect-designed home offers one-floor living and is surrounded by mature landscaping, perennials and even a secret walled garden. The expansive living/dining area has a wood burning fireplace and access to the deck with a wet bar and built-ins. A good sized kitchen with pantry and laundry room provides access to the heated greenhouse. Just off the living room is the library with book shelves, cabinets and a wood burning fireplace. The master suite offers his and her bathrooms, a sauna, a dressing room/exercise room with built-ins, and access to the deck. Two good-sized bedrooms share a family bath with double sink and tub shower. Upstairs you'll find a private office space as well as a carpeted, vaulted space that could be used as a play room or storage. The huge, dry basement runs the length of the house. Generator and hookup included. The two-car garage is accessed by breezeway from the front door. The house is surrounded by fields and woods with the Connecticut River and Hamburg Cove marinas right nearby. Despite its bucolic setting, the Elys Ferry neighborhood is close to town and shopping.
