About This Home

As of November 2015

Enjoy ever-changing views of Essex Harbor from this meticulously maintained and newly renovated embankment ranch. Sited perfectly on a beautifully landscaped lot with sweeping lawns, patio and stone walls, this oasis is a wonderful place for outdoor relaxation and activities. A welcoming Foyer leads to generously proportioned public rooms complete with hard wood floors, custom moldings and built-ins. The Living Room is highlighted by banks of windows that frame the water views. In the cooler months, the fireplace creates a warm spot to watch the Frostbite Yacht Club races on the Connecticut River. Sparkling occasions are enjoyed by all in the Dining Room which opens to the multi season Sunroom. Meals are easily prepared in the new custom Kitchen that features shaker style cabinets, stainless appliances, an eat-in bay and separate Butler's Pantry connecting to the breezeway and attached garage. In a separate wing, the first floor Master Suite features stunning views, walk in closet and a luxurious bath with honed marble countertops and flooring and large walk in shower. An additional Guest Bedroom en-suite completes this level. On the lower walk out level is a spacious Family Room washed in light from the numerous windows and has a granite fireplace and mahogany bar. There are two additional bedrooms, a bath, laundry room, mechanical room and workshop. Conveniently located just one mile from Essex Village, the home and property offer the best of country living.
