It is a rare property that manages to feel both expansive and intensely private, providing a sanctuary where the deliberate rustic charms create a sense of timelessness. This is a place for gathering, or quiet reflection, all from the comfort of a home that is as sturdy as it is beautiful. Imagine a place where the morning alarm is replaced by the soft lap of the Connecticut River against the shore. The back of the house is practically one giant viewing platform, featuring a full-length deck and enclosed porch that runs the entire length of the home. First-floor living features a large primary ensuite and living spaces that draw your eyes straight to the water. Downstairs, a fully finished walkout basement apartment offers independent, handicapped-accessible living with wide doors, an open kitchenette, and a roll-in shower. Whether hosting holidays or lounging on a Tuesday, the River is your backdrop. While the home leans into its historic aesthetic with four brick fireplaces perfect for snowy New England nights, it doesn't skimp on modern life; central air keeps things crisp and cool all summer long. With your own private River frontage (335ft), keep the kayaks ready for a sunrise paddle, head out for a day of boating, or cast a line right from your backyard. The best part? You aren't just buying a house; you're joining the Waterford Springs community. Beyond your private yard, you get access to over 600 common acres of beautiful terrain to explore. Whether you're looking to hit the beach, challenge neighbors to a game of pickleball, tennis, or basketball, or host an event at the clubhouse, the amenities are top-notch. It's private, it's peaceful, and it's waiting for someone who knows that the best luxury in life is a little bit of character in your home and a lot of water in your view. Waterford is at the intersections of interstates 91 and 93, is minutes away from St. Johnsbury, Vermont and Littleton, New Hampshire. View the 3D tour accompanying the listing.
