    What's special

    24 New City Street is by far one of the most admired riverfront homes in Essex. This gracious Gambrel Cape was built in 1953 with just two owners since. The lush setting commands sweeping views overlooking the CT River from every room in the house. Enter the house through the front door and step into the foyer, which leads to the heart of the home. There are beautiful wide-board floors throughout the house, custom millwork, and other thoughtful architectural touches. There is a large and well-appointed chef's kitchen, formal dining room, and a full bathroom with a laundry area. There is also a formal living room, a den/family room, and lovely sunroom, and three wood burning fireplaces. Upstairs is the primary bedroom featuring an ensuite bath and two roomy walk-in closets. There are also two more bedrooms, both with ensuite bathrooms. A two-car (plus) garage and basement on the lower level. Outside is a boathouse built in 1992 with an expansive first-floor workshop with high ceilings. A charming spiral staircase leads to two more rooms and a bathroom on the second floor. The first floor is heated by a wood-burning stove, and the second floor is heated with propane heater. This offering includes a second land parcel of .83 acres of land and a dock.
