155 Saybrook Rd Essex, CT 06426

Are you looking for your special oasis -- one that provides all the spaces and amenities to incorporate today's living needs for daily work, learning and play? You will find this here in a setting highlighted by a dock, boat launch and an in-ground pool. With gently sloping lawn leading to the water's edge of South Cove and the Connecticut River, the view is long and sparkling and the opportunities for water sports nearly unlimited. Park your boat at your dock or pop in a canoe or kayak to explore the estuaries and wildlife. Dive into the gunite pool, swim and splash for a bit, then relax in either the gazebo overlooking the dock, or the screened in porch overlooking the pool. With propane heater and window inserts, this summer porch becomes an all-season haven especially suited for holiday parties. Beyond the meticulously maintained and updated home accented by an entertainer's dream of a kitchen, a dining room with a wall of windows overlooking the water, front to back living room and additional stylish features include a double-sided fireplace linking the kitchen and family room, a catwalk and a 2nd staircase linking the bedroom areas, and an enormous bonus room ideal for ping pong, billiards or overflow for guests. If separate living quarters are a necessity, a cottage foundation is waiting to be reused. Minutes to the historic Village of Essex and its charming shops and resturaunts and halfway between NY and Boston, this is easily accessible by I-95 or rail.
