Commanding one of the highest and most breathtaking viewpoints in Essex, Eagles Peak offers this custom-built Georgian Colonial where elevated Connecticut River and Long Island Sound views take center stage. Privately sited on 9.26 acres, this exceptional estate offers rare seclusion, architectural distinction, and extraordinary water views visible from many principal rooms. Encompassing approximately 7,400 square feet, the home welcomes you with a dramatic handcrafted coffered-ceiling foyer and sweeping center staircase, drawing the eye toward a spectacular great room with 19-foot ceilings and a wall of windows capturing uninterrupted river and shoreline vistas. Throughout the home, fine craftsmanship is on full display, highlighted by extensive custom cabinetry and built-ins. The chef's kitchen, finished entirely with solid cherry cabinetry, features a Viking range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, dual dishwashers, and generous space for gathering and entertaining-all while enjoying the home's elevated water views. A richly appointed custom built library with fireplace and floor-to-ceiling bookcases creates a warm and inviting retreat. The second level offers a luxurious primary suite with sweeping river views, along with four additional en-suite bedrooms. One bedroom is currently configured as a private office and offers in-law or guest suite potential with a separate entrance. The finished third floor provides flexible space ideal for a media room, gym, or additional office. The experience culminates at the iconic widow's walk, where unobstructed panoramic views- the highest in Essex-extend from the Connecticut River across the Essex shoreline and out to Long Island Sound. Additional highlights include four fireplaces, a three-car garage, irrigation system, whole-house audio, generator, and security system. Meticulously maintained and truly move-in ready.
