A special opportunity to own a handsome fusion of the frame of an 1810 Cape with a functionally new, 2004 exterior. After the old Cape was moved 2 miles up the road, carpenters comprehensively rebuilt it with fresh clapboards, modern insulation, up-to-date wiring, plumbing, and lighting. The house is situated on a nicely landscaped parcel across the street from Jacobs Brook. Also, a pleasant patio in the back and two mature magnolias on the front lawn. The interior highlights of the house include, superb woodworking by noted local craftsmen, an alluring living room fireplace, three generously proportioned bedrooms, two full bathrooms, an attractive kitchen, a fully functional basement, an attached, oversized, two-car garage, and a spacious room above Just over a 2 mile drive to the historic center of Orford with its noted array of Federal homes along Orford Ridge, a boat landing on the Connecticut River, miles of rarely traveled dirt roads along Jacob's Brook, and chef-owned Peyton Place restaurant.
