Description
Historic Waterfront Sanctuary on Falls River Cove: Set on a private 2.57-acre peninsula surrounded by the gentle waters of Falls River and Falls River Cove, this extraordinary turn-of-the-century estate offers a rare blend of rich American history and timeless architectural character. Originally an 18th-century water mill and lovingly converted into a grand private residence in the 1900s. Enter a welcoming foyer and into the cozy wood paneled Library featuring built-in bookcases and a classic fireplace. The L-shaped Living Room is framed by rich paneling, wide board floors, and another fireplace with windows that capture sweeping views of the cove. A formal Dining room is anchored by a custom built-in corner cabinet, perfect for showcasing fine china. The Eat-in Kitchen highlights lots of cabinets and counter space and bay window overlooking the gardens, the red bridge and cove. A curved staircase is an architectural statement that leads from the main hall to the light-filled second floor. There are five bedrooms and four are suites, including the Primary with fireplace. Each bedroom features its own private en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet. The house sits on a Peninsula surrounded on three sides by water, offering total privacy and panoramic views. Lush perennial flowerbeds frame a custom stone patio and a serene waterfront terrace designed for outdoor dining and entertaining. There is a whimsical Red Bridge & a Dock ready for boating along the cove to the CT River.
