Welcome to 2 James Street, a charming 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath ranch on a rare 0.59-acre multi-elevation lot with views of the Silvermine River. Step through the Dutch door into an open, sunlit living and dining room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, picture window, and two oversized skylights that flood the space with natural light. The sunny kitchen is the heart of the home, while the main bath offers a tub-shower combo and granite-topped vanity. A third skylight brightens one of the bedrooms, and updated windows throughout enhance the home's abundant natural light. The semi-finished basement includes laundry and an accessible pull-down attic for storage. Recent upgrades include a new roof (Fall 2023), new oil tank (April 2026), new electric water heater (May 2026), fresh paint, new light fixtures, and new window sills (all May 2026). Outside, a two-level deck connects the main house to a separate studio/workshop outbuilding with electric service. Imagine hosting events and parties with your own party room! The private raised yard offers river views, mature trees, swings, a trellis, and a matching fence--it's a homeowner's playground. A two-car attached garage completes the property.
