Set in a magnificent North Cove waterfront location, this exquisitely designed and masterfully crafted residence captures striking views of the Connecticut River and Long Island Sound, all just moments from the Village of Essex. Built in 2014 with exceptional attention to detail, the nearly 6,000-square-foot home offers a timeless architectural aesthetic, beautifully balanced living spaces, and expansive walls of windows and French doors that frame the inspiring water views. Spacious stone terraces extend the living areas outdoors, while professionally landscaped grounds feature mature gardens, specimen plantings, and graceful shade trees. Inside, custom moldings, wood, tile, and marble flooring, along with a state-of-the-art hydro-air heating and cooling system, reflect the home's quality and thoughtful design. A separate finished bonus room with its own staircase offers exceptional flexibility as an au pair suite, private studio, or home office, while a three-bay garage provides ample space and convenience. The spectacular waterfront grounds are designed for both entertaining and relaxation, featuring expansive bluestone terraces, an outdoor gas fire pit, and a stunning pool and spa complex, all set against the breathtaking backdrop of North Cove and the Connecticut River. Completing this exceptional offering is a shared dock with a slip accommodating a boat up to 25 feet, making this a truly distinctive waterfront retreat.
