Back when America was just a feather in mad King George's cap, colonial houses in New England were often built in what became known as the saltbox style. They're very hard to find in the Midwest, but this home is actually located just across the Mississippi from Monticello. A reproduction, it was nevertheless painstakingly constructed to have all the specific features of a home built along the Connecticut River Valley, including crown moldings, raised paneling, and chair railing in the all-important parlor. This home's multiple fireplaces were fashioned with antique bricks to complete the look. From the backyard patio or observation deck, you can see the trumpeter swans that make their home along the shores of the river. And a three-car garage offers plenty of space for recreational vehicles and tools. Though this home does feel like an escape from modern life, multiple eateries, supermarkets and more are less than ten minutes away. Fish trophy winning small mouth right off your deck.
