Rich in both local history and architectural detail this well known and often admired Center Chimney Colonial has been recently renovated and is brimming with charm, refinement and character.

The well appointed kitchen with gas cooktop, granite counters and SS appliances offers a casual dining area with French doors opening to a private terrace...ideal for outdoor entertaining. The great room, centered around the original stone fireplace with beehive oven, is the perfect place for holiday gatherings and a small office with private entrance and beautifully designed bath completes the first level. The original front staircase leads to the MBR suite with full bath and dressing room as well as the en-suite guestroom, laundry area with a back staircase to the first level. A stunning architect designed contemporary addition built in 2012 brings together the best of old and new. Ideally suited as an au-pair/in-law suite or home office the light filled interior features a vaulted wood ceiling, galley kitchen and custom staircase leading to a private bedroom with fireplace and full bath. Bordered by stone walls and lovely perennial gardens the house is prominently set on .71 park like acres and is just a short walk to the Essex Library, Cross Lots Preserve and the Village.
