This historic house, known locally as Cook’s Tavern, had one big drawback – it’s in a beautiful location right beside the Connecticut River, but was positioned too low to enjoy the view.  The solution that owner Jordi Herold came up with was to raise the structure and build a new foundation beneath it, providing river views from every floor.  A full dormer on the west created room for a comfortable master suite, and a second story deck above the new garage provides many opportunities to enjoy the spectacular river panorama.
