Brimming with quintessential New England charm, this cozy yet surprisingly versatile Cape Cod offers a unique blend of character, privacy, and natural beauty. Conveniently located near downtown Deep River, neighboring shoreline communities, and local beaches, the property also offers nearby access to state forest trails leading toward Pine Ledge. Originally built in 1950 and relocated to its current setting during the construction of Route 9 in the 1960s, this distinctive home has a history as interesting as its surroundings. Nestled along a lightly wooded hillside on approximately three-quarters of an acre, the home features two bedrooms, a full bathroom with radiant floor heating, a kitchen, dining area, inviting living room with a wood-burning fireplace, and an additional half bath. A bonus space on the main level showcases sweeping views of Pratt Read Reservoir and the surrounding woodlands, offering a peaceful place to enjoy the beauty of New England's changing seasons. The outdoor spaces are equally distinctive, with a secure poultry enclosure, fish pond, play structure, and open lawn area. An upper-level driveway provides access to a secluded picnic area and a second storage shed. Ample parking is available at the main level, while a separate private driveway below the home leads to an enclosed single-car garage, workspace, storage and interior staircase to the main floor of the home. Recent improvements add value and peace of mind, including a new roof and gutters on main portion of the home installed in May 2026 and a completely new septic system installed in December 2020. With its flexible living spaces, multiple outdoor retreats, scenic reservoir views, and convenient shoreline location, this charming Cape offers an uncommon opportunity to enjoy the best of New England living.
