About This Home

As of February 2017

This lovely embankment Colonial is sited on an exquisitely landscaped lot with mature gardens, blue stone terrace and meandering stone walls, all within walking distance (on sidewalks!) of Essex Village. The beautiful residence underwent a carefully designed renovation and expansion in 2005, using premium materials and remarkable craftsmanship, including fabulous mill work by New England Joinery with all new hardwood flooring, crown molding, custom cabinetry and a wonderful Chef's kitchen. The fully finished lower level incorporates a gorgeous family room, large office and separate guest quarters with private bath which could also be utilized as an inlaw suite. All new mechanicals complete the renovation, including a Buderus HVAC system and central air. Fabulous outdoor living space with a three season glass and screened porch encourages casual entertaining and quiet relaxation...a home for family and friends to enjoy!
