About This Home
As of July 2025Every home tells a story, and the Washington Clark Homestead c. 1853 is no exception. Rich in both local history and architectural detail, this often-admired home in the heart of the village is brimming with charm and character. Curated to perfection with no expense spared or detail overlooked, this signature residence was recently renovated for the current owner by BLUEWATER Millwork & Construction, Inc., exhibiting quality of craftsmanship throughout. From the meticulously designed kitchen featuring top-of-the-line appliances, marble countertops, and a luxurious butler's pantry to the casual dining area with a delft-tiled fireplace and the beautiful blue stone terrace...ideal for al fresco dining, this home is ideal for entertaining. The living room, centered around the fireplace, features custom built-ins and a large picture window with a cozy window seat allowing the interior spaces to seamlessly blend with the natural surroundings. The newly added first floor primary suite serves as your own private sanctuary; a new well-appointed half bath and small study complete the main level. Upstairs, you'll find two charming guest rooms, where every detail has been considered for their home away from home. A true highlight of the property is the impressive barn with a two garage and ample room for a workshop, studio or all your gardening needs. Whether you are looking for a full-time residence or an ideal weekend retreat experience, enjoy all of historic Essex has to offer.
