About This Home
Perched over the CT River on one of the largest lots on Main, the David Watrous House offers water views from each room. This 1850 architectural treasure offers over 4,000 square feet of living space, plus an additional 1,500+ square foot walkout lower level. A detached oversized 3-bay post-and-beam carriage house offers exceptional workshop/studio space, stained glass windows and crowned by a copper cupola with antique weathervane. A side porch entry leads to chef's kitchen with handcrafted Vermont solid cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless appliances, a tin ceiling and dramatic 10-foot island. Formal dining with antique chandelier and fireplace make for elevated home entertaining. The dramatic riverfront great room with wall-to-wall windows, a river-facing 2nd kitchen, fireplace, and expansive deck captures ever-changing water views. A den, living room, office with cherry built-ins, 10+ foot ceilings and full bath offer flexibility on 1st flr. Upstairs, restored original chestnut floors lead to multiple living spaces, full laundry, a 3rd kitchen and a primary suite with gas fireplace with marble en suite. Recent upgrades include new windows, patio, driveway, refreshed landscaping, Buderus furnace, upgraded 400-amp electrical, restored chimneys, whole-house generator, and updated roofing. Stone pathways lead to private riverside seating areas for amazing sunsets. Rare chance to claim a home of notable architectural significance with recognized press coverage.
