About This Home
As of October 2015Price slashed! Seller requests interested parties submit an offer by Sunday August 30th. Here is a once-in-more-than-a-century opportunity to own a true piece of unspoiled history in the heart of beautiful Essex, Connecticut! This circa 1803 Federal home has been in the same family for more than 120 years, and has survived with its charm and character fully intact, having been lived in & loved. The property is ideally set with frontage on Main and Pratt Streets, running the entire length of Ferry St, and comprising almost a half-acre with Marina views & diagonally across from the historic Griswold Inn on Main St. Originally built by Thomas Millard, in 1814 the home belonged to Atty George Jewitt, town recorder and head of the local militia. It is rumored that the contract preventing the burning of Essex town was signed in this home. Secret gardens; privacy.
Featuring over 3100 square feet, 5 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, this was one of the finest homes in Essex more than 200 years ago, and retains all of its character and presence today. Formal gardens add to the charm.
While the house needs, and richly deserves, full restoration, it offers all of the characteristics desirable to make that restoration something truly special, or build your new home in the right setting, view and location.
This opportunity calls for a buyer with a special commitment to one of the most special properties in one of the most special towns in New England.
