Description

Live where the river slows down and life follows. At 55 Main Street, you can cast a line from your dock at sunrise, take your boat out by noon, and grill & dine on patio overlooking pool by sunset-all from the comfort of your own historic retreat. Set high on the East Bank of the Connecticut River, this circa 1850 home blends Federal and early Greek Revival architecture with modern updates and riverfront living. This property showcases deep-water dock access, a 20x40 gunite pool, and sweeping views of the Connecticut and Salmon Rivers. Inside, wide-board pine floors, warm antique gas entry fixture, original millwork, and 4 fireplaces honor the home's heritage, while radiant heat flooring, central air, and a walkout basement with laundry bring 21st-century ease. The kitchen opens to a river-view addition with floor-to-ceiling windows and built-in teak seating/storage. 1st floor also includes family room with picture window overlooking the river and formal dining room with fire place for holiday celebrations. Upstairs, three bedrooms are joined by a large custom closet room and two full baths. A floating stair leads to a private office with river views and door in the floor brings you to the basement. Outside, enjoy meticulously landscaped grounds, irrigation, ample parking for visitors. Two contracted marina rental slips are available to new owners. This is not just a historic home-it's a lifestyle, cared for by precision-minded stewards. It's a rare and refined escape.
