Set on .62 acres along a protected canal just off the Connecticut River, this custom-built waterfront Cape offers more than 100 feet of bulkhead frontage, along with a floating dock equipped with power and water suitable for a variety of boats and watercraft. Offering 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, the home was designed to capture natural light and water views with an open floorplan, abundant windows, and multiple sliders leading to various outdoor living spaces. A first-floor primary suite includes a private bath, walk-in closet, and balcony overlooking the water. Cathedral ceiling, skylights, a fireplace, and loft balcony highlight the living room, while sliders open to the large wraparound deck facing the water. The eat-in kitchen features a center island, twin sinks, Mexican tile floors, working desk and direct deck access. A formal dining room is ideally sized for small dinner parties or larger holiday gatherings. The finished walk-out lower level includes a family room, office/den with fireplace, full bath with laundry, and access to the 2-car garage. The large yard stretches down to the dock and waterfront with room for gardening, recreation, or simply relaxing outdoors. Conveniently located near marinas, shopping, dining, and routes 9 and I-95, this property offers comfortable waterfront living in a desirable Connecticut River setting. (Solar panel system installed in 2024 and fully transferable. Documentation available.)
