About This Home

As of November 2021

MILLION DOLLAR VIEWS! This stunning and unique property is located in the heart of idyllic and charming Essex Village which is rich in history. (Essex Light & Power c. 1905 and completely remodeled by well known architect Roderic Hartung) There is nothing "cookie cutter" here. The architecture is simply extraordinary! Every nook and cranny of this property has been meticulously maintained. Any boating or water lover will enjoy your own personal "widow's walk" to watch the boats with a view of Essex Island Marina & Dauntless Shipyard which adds an element of luxury not found in many homes. The amazing and serene views continue from the sophisticated custom cherry wood kitchen. A spacious great room w/dining area and fireplaced living room. An exposed brick den featuring a tin ceiling adds a subtle warmth to the living space and beautiful texture to the design. The abundance of custom windows lets the light flood in. Barrel and vaulted ceilings, wood bead board, & some original post and beam construction. The elevated deck is just one of the many spots to enjoy the lush plantings and breathtaking views. Impossible to convey in words everything this home offers. This property is just off Main Street, known for its village shops and stately homes. The property engages, exhilarates and inspires you as you walk through. In the past, there was a retail business operating on main level. Endless possibilities w/ income potential. Come see why Essex was voted "The Perfect Small Town."
