About This Home

As of November 2024

Nestled in the prestigious Otter Cove area, this beautifully renovated home sits on a private 2.43-acre lot, offering tranquility and elegance in equal measure. The home has been upgraded to "new" condition with high-end finishes throughout, including a stunning chef's kitchen that's perfect for entertaining. With 3 spacious bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and two cozy fireplaces, the layout is as functional as it is luxurious. A finished lower level adds valuable living space, while an unfinished portion of the basement is ideal for storage or a workshop. This property is not in a flood zone and is located just steps from the 80-acre Turtle Creek Preserve, where residents can enjoy walking trails and direct access to the Connecticut River. For boating enthusiasts, marinas are nearby, and commuters will appreciate the easy access to Route 9 and I-95. Located close to both Essex and Old Saybrook's charming downtowns, this property offers privacy, convenience, and ample opportunities to enjoy nature. Low taxes of $5900, Owner financing possible. Newer 4 bedroom Septic - home is expandable if needed. Owner/agent
