Over two acres of sweeping lawns on two separately deeded lots lead to 190 feet of Connecticut River frontage at this conveniently located historic Main Street property. In Orford, across from the fabled Ridge, just steps from the bridge spanning the Connecticut River and connecting Vermont and New Hampshire, this 1805 temple front Greek Revival style colonial was thoroughly updated by a well-known and highly respected local builder. The true beauty of this historic home is that it retains its original charm while modern, state-of-the-art systems have been installed along with insulation and efficiency improvements that combine to create an Energy Star-rated home. An open floor plan kitchen and dining area, large mudroom entry, ¾ bath, and sitting and living rooms are found on the first floor. The second floor offers three bedrooms and two full baths, and the third floor offers an enormous and very flexible open space suitable for various possible uses. Walking distance to shops, schools, and the local public library and 20-25 minutes from Hanover and Norwich, and with nearby access to all the recreational possibilities offered by the Connecticut River and Lakes Morey and Fairlee, hiking, hunting, fishing, golf and skiing at the Dartmouth Skiway, Burke and Cannon Mountain. History and modern-day efficiency along with two separate parcels, one developable, combine to make this a wonderful opportunity.
