There’s a completely open-concept great room featuring a one-of-a-kind four-sided glass fireplace that connects to the brand new deck overlooking Marshepaug river below. Stroll the woodland path down to the river’s edge, or explore the 5+ acres of secluded nature that accompany this dream-like property. Elvehytte has ample room for all guests, with two bedrooms on the lower level, another spacious first-floor room that functions as a third bedroom with ease, plus truly massive multi-purpose loft spaces on the upper floor.
While the direct Marshepaug River Frontage (stocked with trout!), and the completely unique see-through fireplace could be enough, this property offers additional unique features rendering the value unparalleled. One of which is the hidden indoor pool, located in the 3rd bedroom/flex room. It is covered by a beautiful hardwood floor covering, and can either be left happily undetected and unused, or if the buyer would choose, could be converted to a more comprehensive indoor spa. There is space around the pool to fit a heater, jets, or other mechanical equipment. The home also features an oversized two car garage to make winter trips a breeze, and potentially offering additional conversion space for more living area. The lofted attic is breathtaking, features skylights, and spans the entirety of the house, nearly doubling the listed square footage.

Less than 2 hours from Manhattan, this stylish and authentic getaway is ideal for those seeking privacy, connection to nature in a vibrant, historic location.
