About This Home
As of June 2025Welcome to 215 Essex Rd, nestled in the highly desirable Kensington Hills neighborhood! This 4,100+ sq ft, gorgeous 5-bedroom/3-bath home has it all! New AC, furnace, roof, and water heater in 2023. Main floor bedroom or den/office, main floor laundry with an unexpected, very convenient 3/4 bathroom (perfect opportunity for multi-generational living!), large front room (currently used as an office), gorgeous updated, eat-in kitchen overlooking the statement piece of the home...a black, natural brick wall with an elegant, gas fireplace in the large sunken family room! The large deck off the kitchen is the perfect spot for private outdoor dining and entertaining. Turn up the heat with a fantastic, outdoor 2-person sauna with a cool OUTDOOR SHOWER - both new and all for your enjoyment! Upstairs, you'll find your spacious primary suite, boasting a 2-person jetted tub, glass door, tiled shower, dual vanity, heated floors, and a large walk-in closet. Rounding out the top floor are two large bedrooms and a large bathroom with heated floors! Heading back down to the lower levels of this great home, you'll find another huge living area...and just a few steps more, you'll find an enormous multi-use room (currently used as a bedroom), with an egress window to make it a legal bedroom. The heated, 3-stall garage is also essential for your cars, toys, and workspace. Schedule your private tour quickly before this gorgeous home finds its new owners...perhaps it'll be you!
