    What's special

    On a quiet cul-de-sac, just a short drive from Essex village, a warm home sits atop 1.69 acres awaiting its next owner. Not your average Cape Cod, the home boasts over 4,500 SF; plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the quiet surroundings. Consisting of 3 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms and a bunk room, the home provides space for entertaining weekend and summer guests. A kitchen renovation, completed in November 2018, provides an updated central space, with granite countertops, Subzero refrigerator, two Viking dishwashers, Dacor stacked convection wall ovens and Dacor gas cooktop. Features include a great room with vaulted ceilings and gas fireplace, a formal dining room, a warm study with a full wet bar and a large formal living room with a masonry, wood-burning fireplace. Upstairs, a guest bedroom, full bathroom and large laundry center are accessed via private hallway. A true master wing of nearly 1,100 SF provides a large bedroom with gas fireplace, walk-in closet and a newly renovated marble bathroom ensuite. Completing the master suite is a nearly 600 SF bonus room with high ceilings, perfect for either your own gym/yoga studio or a large office. Outdoors, Brazilian Ipe decking ushers sun-bathers to a gunite swimming pool. Well-established landscaping and a rolling lawn offer plenty of outdoor recreation space. With neighborhood properties selling for considerably more, this property offers an opportunity to bring an architect and design your dream home.
