81 East River Road

Built in 1884, this historic home has lived many lives - town post office, shoemaker’s workshop, and community anchor. Today, with strong structural bones, soaring ceilings, and thoughtful renovations already underway, it’s ready to welcome its next chapter. Significant improvements have been completed, including cellulose and spray foam insulation, floor stabilization, reinforced rafters, fully updated electrical and plumbing systems, several new windows, and a newly lined chimney. With much of the essential structural and mechanical work in place, the next owner can focus on bringing their vision to life through finishes and design. The home’s generous size and flexible layout offer a variety of possibilities. One wing is already in progress toward becoming a separate rental unit but could easily be reimagined to suit your needs - whether as a first-floor primary suite, spacious home office, or private guest quarters. Upstairs has roughed-in plumbing for two bathrooms. Ideally located in the heart of Lincoln Village, you’ll find local amenities and a strong sense of community just outside your door. Enjoy the nearby General Store for a snack and a chat, live music at Burnham Hall, a refreshing swim in the river across the street, or a baseball game at the nearby recreation field. This is a rare opportunity to complete a historic renovation with major infrastructure improvements already in place. All that’s left is your vision - and the chance to shape what this home becomes next.
