About This Home

As of July 2022

Essex Village Waterfront! This is a rare opportunity to have 190ft of direct waterfront in Essex Village. Nestled quietly on Middle Cove, adjacent to Essex Yacht Club, this Mid-Century Modern three bedroom home on 3/4 of an acre has its own dock with water and electricity. The channel leads you to the CT River in minutes. Meticulously maintained, the home enjoys sunrises to spectacular sunsets. The bluestone patio stretches the length of the house with long open views with beautiful lawn and gardens. The sun filled newly renovated kitchen has a stainless farm sink and faucet, built-in cabinets, polished quartz countertops, and a carved wood fireplace. The sit-down counter looks over a cozy dining area and glass sliders leading out to the patio and gardens. The living room, also with a fireplace, has a wet bar with a Mahogany bar top, a wall of windows and glass sliders lead out to the patio. Some of many recent renovations include the master bath's fabulous tiled walk-in shower with Rhol polished nickel fixtures, custom cabinets and Carrara marble dual sink counter with a chandelier over the tub. There are two out buildings; a barn for nautical and maintenance equipment, the other a finished heated studio. This private, unique one floor living home is only a few minutes’ walk to the famed Griswold Inn, the Connecticut River Museum, restaurants, and shopping. Half way between New York and Boston it is an ideal year round home or as a retreat.
