Property Description

Perhaps once in a generation might an Essex village property with so much to offer and such potential to expand, become available for purchase. The setting is otherworldly. The gracious level 1.37 acre lot is located in a coveted neighborhood, prized for its natural beauty, country vibe, and close proximity to downtown Essex. The grounds are awe-inspiring. Subtly landscaped borders contain an expansive lawn and specimen trees; including a towering Rockefeller Center-worthy Norway Spruce. Original architectural features are found at every turn inside this historic c.1832 home. Details include gleaming wide-board flooring, three fireplaces, built-in antique cabinetry, and bookshelves. The recently remodeled kitchen features soapstone countertops and plenty of stylish storage found in new custom cabinetry and a spacious island. A wall of Marvin windows and French doors invites a water view and views of the grounds inside. The beautiful stone terrace is easily accessed through another set of French doors in the kitchen. In addition to the oversized two-car detached garage, there is a delightful post and beam barn that could be repurposed as office/flex space, or as an artist's studio. Recent updates include a Buderus heating system, and other mechanical improvements. The setting feels so country-like that it could be easy to forget you are only moments from Main Street shops, restaurants, galleries, marinas, yacht clubs, and all that makes Essex village so sought after!
