Home of the week: Hanover

From the street, this house is a pleasing, rambling Cape with a long farmer’s porch and a smattering of dormers. Yet at the rear of the house is a Victorian-like tower that has on each of its three levels an alcove with bay windows that look onto the peaceful North River.

This home has 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and 4,265 square feet of living space. It is listed for $889,000.

The first floor has a large kitchen with a granite-topped prep island, an eating area, and living room with a stone fireplace.

The floors in the home are oak.

A large three-season room with knotty pine paneling is off the kitchen.

Down the hall, a stairway leads to a large bedroom, with a showered bath, above the two-car garage.

A path leads through towering trees to a long wooden dock floating in the river.

The house sits in the center of the 1.38 acre lot, which has a large, flat lawn out front and a large backyard that slopes gently to the river.

On the second floor, the master suite has a massive bedroom space, large closets, skylights, and a large, private deck with river views.

The bath has a deepwhirlpool tub underneath a window with river views, and a separate shower.
