    What's special

    Prime location in the heart of Essex village. Walk to Downtown Essex restaurants, quaint shops, marinas and the CT River. This well appointed home offers both charm and modern amenities. Central location- close to everything- yet a private setting. It's cozy yet expansive. Featuring hardwood floors throughout, built-ins, and a wall of windows that leads to a captivating semi-circular screened in porch, ideal for enjoying throughout the year. Plenty of living space adorn this village charmer, offering a large living room with gas fireplace, combined family room/dining room. Plus a bonus space that can be used as an office or additional sleeping space with a full bath attached. The large eat-in kitchen features stainless steel appliances and honed granite countertops. Upstairs the primary bedroom is a true retreat, complete with a walk-in closet and a bath featuring a domed ceiling that adds interest and delight, double sinks, a stall shower and whirlpool tub. Two generously sized bedrooms and a second full bath complete the second level. Outside, enjoy the private backyard with built-in grill and 2 car detached garage for plenty of storage. Through your backyard access the Cross Lots -part of Essex Land Trust- for an enchanting open field bordered by hedgerows. 2 hrs from NYC and Boston. Essex was named one of the "100 Best Small Towns in America." The travel guide "1,000 Places to See Before you Die" recognized Essex as a standout destination for its charming qualities and historical significance. Its location on the CT River with close proximity to Long Island Sound make it an ideal choice for boaters and sailors.
