About This Home
As of August 2019Down a quiet lane, just a short walk from Main Street in Essex Village is a wonderful coastal waterfront home which enjoys stunning views of North Cove, the Connecticut River and the rolling hills of Lyme. The 1.4 acre property has a gently sloping lawn to 180 feet of waterfront and a permitted dock for kayaks and canoes. It is one of only a handful of waterfront properties in Essex Village which are over an acre in size and easily walk-able to the to the historic center filled with stores, restaurants, yacht clubs, an inn and museum. The size of the property and the mature landscaping coupled with the lovely English gardens have ensured unbelievable privacy. In the early 2000s the house was entirely rebuilt and expanded under the guidance of a noted architect. Filled with natural light from an abundance of carefully placed windows, the interior of the home is highlighted by a first floor Master suite, a fabulous Chef's kitchen with granite counter tops and a convenient breakfast bar adjoining a casual dining area. A remarkable architecturally designed Great Room boasts a vaulted ceiling and floor to ceiling windows that bring the beautiful views to the forefront. An elegant living room with fireplace is a step down from the formal dining room for special occasions. Stone terraces surround the waterside with easy access for alfresco lunches and dinners. All of these fabulous interior and exterior components create a perfect home for family and friends alike. Simply stunning!
