This beautiful 19th century home has been tastefully updated while retaining much of its period elegance. The main level features a spacious entry way with built in storage, kitchen with custom concrete countertops and plenty of space to entertain as the room leads into a sunroom with pellet stove, 3/4 bath. The main level finishes off with a formal dining room, double-length living room that is currently divided into a cozy, conversation area facing the fireplace with a magnificent mantle while the front half has built-in shelving serving as a study with a picture window view across the Connecticut river to the wooded NH hills beyond. On the 2nd level, there is a primary bedroom with walk-in closet, two other bedrooms and a den with built-in entertainment wall, a bathroom with jetted tub and shower stall plus a separate laundry room. The finished attic with a half bath provides ample space for a bed and sitting room or studio with shelving and more storage.The original, refinished hardwood flooring is to be found in most of the main rooms and hallways with a mix of wood and ceramic flooring elsewhere. The full, dry basement with both in and outside entrances, is a craftsman's paradise, filled with built-in work benches and storage cupboards, plus it remains warm enough to work there year-round. Outside you will find an in-ground pool and gardens with a view, fruit trees, berry bushes and tranquility of a wooded hill providing privacy. Delayed Showings begin Sat. 4/8
