    What's special

    This must see house is like no other! Overlooking Essex and the Connecticut River, this is a quiet section of town that most people who live here don't know exists. The structure was the delivery point for the apple orchard where it's located. In 1945 it was turned into a private home. Fast forward to 2005, the property was reimagined, turning it into a contemporary house with an open floor plan and creative details throughout. In 2020, extensive landscaping upgrades including a new semi-circular driveway, bluestone walkways, and garden paths were completed, opening up the view to the CT River, and the house reimagined with a new color palette along with kitchen and bathroom updates. Now, both winter and summer river views greet visitors to this unique home. On one end of the house is the perfect in-law suite. The bedroom has views of the blue waters of the River, an office/dressing room and a full bathroom with laundry. Take a step down to the family room and kitchen, then a step up to the dining room, living room, guest ensuite and Master suite. There is a terrace off the family room with steps to the art studio which is heated and could also be used as an in-home gym or office. The two car garage has ample room for storage. This house is private yet just a mile walk to town. If you want to downsize but keep the beauty of the River in your eyesight, you'll want to see this unique property. State of the art utilities: Buderus furnace, tankless hot water heater, water softener. Fabulous appointments include: raw silk granite, marble, French limestone floor, Crown Point cabinets.
