Description
Aldendale house holds a storied past, ranging from tales of Civil War era buried silver in Horn Harbor to a rumored safe house for former members of the clandestine services. The features of this river hideaway are as exciting as its past, whether you're looking for a cozy fisherman's cottage or family compound. Situated on a picturesque waterfront lot, this property offers incredibly peaceful views of Horn Harbor. Morning sunrises meet an expansive porch, while your own saltwater pool (3ft-6ft depth) makes for a refreshing afternoon swim. The pool house is perfect for entertaining or a potential primary suite, w/ wood burning FP, parquet floors, & vaulted ceiling. Hidden behind a secret door, you'll find a massive vintage safe (which will remain with the property). The original farmhouse is connected by a greenhouse & courtyard, w/ potential to expand the kitchen or a primary addition with water views. Architectural charm stretches back to the early 19th c., including pieces of the original wallpaper that were salvaged & framed in the living room. Buyers looking to renovate or expand will find some TLC has already been done for you (a newer kitchen & vinyl siding, mini splits, fresh landscaping & paint, new pvc pipes in the crawl, water filtration system, repaired brick walkway, replaced pier platform, wood repair & new gutters on the porch). An easement across the lawn leads to a huge 2 car garage, w/ water & electric, a perfect hobby barn or extra storage. Water & electricity extend to the largest platform in the area (20x40), deep-water (6ftMLW) pier, complete with a vintage fish-hook & TWO boat lifts, perfect for the most serious of fishermen, a 2nd small dock & private creek access, the perfect kayak/ canoe put-in. Tucked away off of the main road, a custom wrought iron gate bearing the home's name welcomes you to the property, where a rare opportunity awaits. For those seeking something beyond the ordinary, Aldendale delivers. Septic will convey AS-IS, inspection reports available upon request!
