About This Home

As of August 2021

First things first. This striking brick and clapboard contemporary cape tucked back on a cul-de-sac in Essex village has not just one, but TWO first-floor bedroom suites! A romantic fireplace, a walk-in closet, and a full bath are found in the primary suite. A private first-floor guest suite with a full bath opens up multi-generational living possibilities. In addition to the two full baths, there is a powder room on the main level. A convenient laundry room and separate office are steps from the master bedroom and kitchen. The flow here is close to perfect. A well-appointed kitchen with cherry cabinets and an island is central to the floor plan and opens directly to the dining area and family room with a fireplace. A comfortable living room/study/office with another fireplace sits just off the foyer. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms and a full bath share the second level with an office/study. A playroom/fitness/media room occupies the lower level. Sliders from the family room lead to a spacious bluestone terrace on the .76 acre fenced and landscaped grounds with plenty of room for a pool. There is a separate "paw park" for four-legged friends located between the house and the three-car garage. This house represents classic New England style with a contemporary twist plus an epic floor plan, lot, and location. Bike or walk to renowned Essex village shops, restaurants, marinas, yacht clubs, the c.1776 Griswold Inn and the CT river. Live your best life here!
