An impressive and enchanting private retreat set on 1.51 acres atop a quiet cul-de-sac minutes from Essex village and the CT river. The perfect sanctuary for those seeking tranquility with room to entertain family and friends. Recent updates include new skylights, a freshly painted interior, and refinished wide-board hardwood flooring. 4,714 SF - PLUS a very useful 650 SF walk-out lower level one-bedroom apartment with its own family room, fireplace, kitchen, and full bath. A spacious first-floor primary suite offers sliders to a new deck overlooking sweeping landscaped grounds. You will find a remodeled ensuite bath in the second-floor primary suite. A soaring two-story stone fireplace is an impressive focal point in the family room, which cleverly shares a wet bar with the living room. One of the favorite spots in this home is the screened porch that bridges these two rooms. The formal dining room with a built-in hutch leads the way to a spacious dine-in kitchen with vaulted beadboard ceiling. A serene bluestone terrace and gardens adjacent to the kitchen provide an alfresco oasis. Amenities include a four-bay garage, workshop, multiple office options, new furnace and air conditioning systems, and a long gracious driveway. Minutes from fabled historic Essex village. Enjoy local restaurants, shops, marinas, and yacht clubs. Set just over two hours from NYC and Boston, yet a world apart. Live your Essex dream here!
