About This Home
Welcome to the reimagined John Miner House on North Main Street in the charming Connecticut River Valley Village of Essex. Originally built in 1880 as a residence and tailor shop, this historic property has evolved over the years into a unique investment and lifestyle opportunity. Ideally located in the Heart of the Village, you'll enjoy a short stroll to the Connecticut River, marinas, quaint shops, and wonderful restaurants. The building now offers three beautifully updated units. The showpiece is the entire second floor-an elegant, light-filled two-bedroom apartment featuring soaring ceilings, two full baths, a spacious living room and kitchen, and an expansive deck that spans the length of the building. Perfect as your own private residence while enjoying the convenience of rental income. On the first floor, you'll find two additional units. A bright apartment with an open floor plan, two bedrooms, 1.5 baths, and its own private deck. A professional office space with flexible use potential. Recent updates include new appliances, newer roof, upgraded mechanicals, lighting, and ceiling fans. The property sits on a professionally landscaped village lot with two off-street parking spaces. Whether you're seeking a historic Essex residence, an income-producing property, or both, the John Miner House offers a rare opportunity to live in "The Best Small Town in America." Located midway between Boston and New York.
