About this property

Owned waterfront on the Connecticut River! This solid 2 bedroom, 1 bath home sits on a 0.94 acre lot with direct river frontage and hill views across to New Hampshire. Built in 1947, the house shows the quality craftsmanship of its era, with original woodwork, arched doorways, and handy built ins throughout. The spacious living room features a fireplace, and the dining area looks out over the open, park like yard straight to the river. The first floor offers a bedroom and a full bathroom. The entire second floor is a long primary bedroom with plenty of room to spread out. Out back, enjoy the large deck with space for a hot tub and more great water views. A breezeway connects the house to the attached one car garage. This riverfront property offers character, privacy, and a great location. A short drive gets you to the grocery store, and Interstate 91 with Exit 8 or 9 just a few miles away for easy commuting. A rare chance to own a home right on the Connecticut River in Windsor, Vermont.

    Questions to ask before you buy

    Good questions for any home near the slopes.

    1. How is the property reached in winter, and who plows the road and driveway?A short straight-line distance can still mean a long or seasonal drive. Private roads, gates and mountain passes all shape winter access.
    2. Is there documented ski access from the property (trail, easement, lift), and does it transfer to a buyer?Rights to cross neighboring land or use a lift come from recorded easements and agreements, so a ski-in or ski-out description is where the question starts.
    3. Are there association, resort or club fees, and what do they cover?Some ski-area communities charge fees that cover only certain amenities, so ask what lift tickets, passes and services are included.
    4. Are there rules on renting the home short-term or long-term?Local ordinances, association covenants and deed restrictions all set rental rules, and they differ from place to place.
    5. What do heating, snow removal, winterization and utilities cost over a season?Ownership costs in snow country often run higher than the mortgage estimate suggests.
    6. For land: is there legal year-round access, and what utilities, septic and building rules apply?Seasonal roads and steep lots can limit what can be built and when it can be reached.
