A RARE OPPORTUNITY to own an historic lovingly restored 1854 Federal Colonial in exceptional condition. An addition, designed to maintain the historic character of the house while seamlessly doubling its size, was added in 1987. Architectural details include pumpkin pine wide plank floors, reproduction hardware and custom-milled woodwork. Other features worth noting are 6 fireplaces, a 12' natural stone Rumford fireplace, 10' ceilings, sitting rooms, 2 dining rooms and a country kitchen with custom copper shelving. There are 7 traditionally appointed guest rooms, all with private full baths. A large third floor suite with working fireplace and 2-person whirlpool tub can be used as an in-law suite or an additional guest room. Enjoy evenings amidst the beautiful perennial gardens lit by soft landscape lighting. A custom made, locally milled white oak pergola highlights the 700+sf stone terrace and cast iron and stone fire pit. This home is in a much sought-after location within walking distance to restaurants, shops and the CT River. A short drive brings you to Long Island Sound, wineries, farmers markets, antiques and theater. Deep River is located 2 hours from New York and Boston and is easily accessible by car or train yet far enough away from the hubbub and hassles of the city. Currently operating as an award-winning inn, there are possibilities for extended family, an au pair or in-law apartment, office space or a combination home with separate entrance for Airbnb.
