    What's special

    This beautiful four-bedroom early 19th-century home, circa 1825, is located in the historic lakeside village of Essex, NY. Tastefully renovated with an abundance of charm and warmth blending Swedish farmhouse charm with a modern sense of style. The eastern side of the house enjoys lake views, and the large Marvin two-over-two windows throughout allow sunshine to fill the rooms, creating a bright and airy feel. The kitchen, with its dining area, opens to a lovely deck that overlooks a expansive deep backyard that connects to the one of the CATS trails and is surrounded by professional landscaping. This peaceful spot is perfect for enjoying morning coffee, evening cocktails, dinner with friends, or relaxing with a good book in the Adirondack chairs. Major renovations, completed by Sawteeth Carpentry, includes an updated kitchen with all-new appliances, custom quartzite counters, Fabuwood cabinetry, and white oak shelving that flows into a custom-designed dining area with white oak cabinetry, an eat-in banquet, and a beautiful eight-person dining table. A new central heat pump with air conditioning, new electrical wiring and plumbing, engineered white oak flooring throughout, and updated insulation have also been added. Salvaged antique beams in the living room, paired with custom lighting, create a warm and inviting space. The first-floor bedroom features a custom walk-in closet and full bathroom, while the second floor offers three additional bedrooms and a full bathroom with a clawfoot soaking tub and a beautifully tiled shower. Full list of improvements available. Potential to purchase addition adjacent .10 acre for $100,000. The home is within walking distance of the hamlet's shops, restaurants, bookstore, and library, as well as the local town park with its swimming area. A year-round ferry to Vermont provides easy access to the city of Burlington and its international airport.
