About This Home

As of December 2017

This distinctive, versatile home should check all of your boxes! A top to bottom remodel in 2010 yielded a waterfront property of uncompromising quality and uncommon comfort. The floor plan offers a masterful blend of open and intimate areas. Each space exudes a sense of purpose combined with exceptional millwork and custom finishes. The first floor master suite with spa-like master bath and dual walk-in closets overlooks the river and dock. No flood insurance required! Four bedrooms in total, each with full bath en suite; including a guest "apartment" over the garage. The focal point of the home is the spacious fully equipped kitchen/great room with adjacent dining room. This core of the house has river views and deck access for wonderful indoor/outdoor flow. Also on the first floor you will find an office conveniently nearby the kitchen. The family room has a vaulted ceiling and propane fireplace complemented by granite surround. This room features impressive custom cabinetry and bookshelves. Not included in the total 4410sf of luxurious living area is a very useful walk-out lower level with game/exercise room and office. It's just steps from this space to the dock. From the dock, a channel provides easy access to the CT River and LIS. In addition to the attached garage, a 23x37 barn awaits your toys. If you desire a private quiet waterfront lifestyle within minutes of Essex village shops, restaurants marinas and yacht clubs, this one-of-a-kind property is for you!
