About 56 The Rapids Road
Horsepasture River frontage defines this property — approximately 280 feet of private riverfront anchoring a custom-built home of considerable scale and character. The great room commands immediate attention: lodge-proportioned, with stone fireplaces at either end drawing the eye across the full length of the space. Beautiful stone accents carry throughout the main level, reinforcing a consistent character that distinguishes the home. The gourmet kitchen opens to a large pantry, and the main level connects to an expansive screened porch with an outdoor kitchen and an open deck for enjoying the sunshine. Below, a private staircase leads to an extraordinary and extensive boardwalk and pavilion set directly along the river. Four ensuite bedrooms include a primary suite with a luxurious bathroom. Garage space accommodates up to four vehicles, with abundant storage throughout. An upstairs office offers a quiet retreat from the main living areas. An elevator serves all three floors, and an upstairs office offers a quiet retreat from the main living areas. Additional rooms include a workshop and a space with potential for a wine cellar. A circular driveway framed by stone walls completes the approach.
