Picture starting your morning watching the sun rise over the water and ending your day with peaceful river views from almost every room in your home. Set on 2 acres along the majestic Housatonic river near Cornwall Bridge, 16 River Road has been completely transformed by a major renovation in 2024 into a modern waterfront sanctuary, while keeping its timeless antique character intact. Inside, refinished hardwood floors and classic antique detailing lead you to the open living and dining area, where a wood-burning fireplace creates a warm, cozy atmosphere. Large, new windows frame direct views of the river, pulling the beauty of the outdoors inside. For a closer look at the water, step out to the screened-in porch with its beautiful stone floor-an ideal setting for your morning coffee or evening wine. The brand-new chef's kitchen is a design masterpiece, combining custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, a bespoke stone backsplash, and a farmhouse sink.

Upgraded electrical systems with recessed lighting and dimmers allow you to set the perfect mood throughout. The main-level primary suite is your private oasis, complete with direct river views and an ensuite bath that rivals any spa.
