Charm abounds in this meticulously maintained riverfront home, the William Denison House. Originally built in 1767, this spacious 2,800 SQ FT 4-bedroom 2.5 bath antique colonial is sited on a magnificent .62-acre lot overlooking the Falls River with an in ground pool & a small bridge that leads to a picturesque private island. Water views include Jean's Island in the background, a part of the Essex Land Trust.

A huge, adjacent FR has exposed wood beams, glass slider to the backyard & access to the garage. Rare 1st fl primary suite w/remodeled shower & Jacuzzi bath. A laundry room & 1/2 bath complete the 1st fl. The 2nd fl has 2 bedrooms w/FPs, a full bath & bonus living space. A finished 3rd fl has a bedroom & a small, cozy room. Recent upgrades include solar panels, 4-zone propane heating system, HW heater, roof, EV-enabled outlet, 1st fl C/A compressor & 7 custom Marvin windows. With its old-world charm & beautiful views this home truly has it all! Custom cherry wood cabinets in the family room do not convey with the property.
