About This Home
Rare opportunity to own an extraordinary, in-town, estate on 1.2 professionally landscaped acres with breathtaking CT River views. This completely renovated 1880's carriage house is just steps from the heart of the quintessential New England village of Essex. Special features include stunning central staircase, ten-ft coffered ceilings (1st floor), gorgeous bespoke refrigerated "wine wall" (475+/- bottles) with adjacent dry bar, artisanal millwork, chefs kitchen with leathered Taj Mahal quartzite countertops and Subzero, Wolf and Miele appliances, first floor bedroom suite with private terrace, master suite including a generous study/sitting room with wet bar, fireplace and extensive balcony, lower level fitness room, office nook with adjacent media room and mini-kitchen, elevator, generator, and a dog bath! Step out back and you will find a private, retreat with salt water pool, charming grape arbor, patio and fabulous pool house. Three sets of French doors lead to an elegant veranda overlooking the rolling lawn and the Connecticut River. Step down to the new bluestone patio with custom fire pit and take in the deed protected river view...a magical setting for both intimate gatherings and large parties alike. Dinner on the veranda is easily facilitated with the adjacent built-in Lynx grill. Just two hours from NYC or Boston, this home and property are truly special, beyond compare.
