About This Home

As of August 2025

Bring your vision and creativity to this waterfront opportunity on Duck Creek, a peaceful tributary of Back River, near Cox’s Point in Essex. With approximately 50 feet of bulkheaded shoreline, a private pier, and beautiful water views, this property is full of potential for the right buyer.

Built in 1924, this charming colonial-style home offers character, space, and stunning possibilities for transformation. The main level features 899 square feet of living space, including a galley-style kitchen, a combined dining room area, a cozy living/family room with waterfront views, two bedrooms, and a full bathroom.

A spiral staircase leads to the open loft-style upper level—approximately 400 square feet—featuring a half bath, French doors to a private balcony, and potential to become a luxurious primary suite or creative flex space.

The home also includes an unfinished basement, perfect for storage. While the property needs work and is being sold strictly as-is, it presents a fantastic opportunity to renovate and personalize a waterfront gem to your liking.

According to recent FEMA flood maps, the improved portion of the property is not in a mandatory flood zone. Whether you’re looking to restore its original charm or reinvent it with a modern flair, this Essex waterfront property is a canvas awaiting your inspiration.
