The 930SF walkout lower level has an impressive custom-made wet bar, living room, half bath and a state of the art two-room recording studio which could easily be used for office space, workout room, etc. Step outside to enjoy 1000SF of front and back porch space that overlooks extensive lush landscaping. The property abuts Essex Land Trust with acres of walking trails. This custom made, builder-designed home is virtually maintenance free with Geothermal heat, tankless hot water heater, foam insulated interior walls and hardy board siding.
