    1/2 mile walk to Essex Village, the marina, shops, and restaurants, this historic residence is nestled within one of Essex's most desirable neighborhoods. Thoughtfully reimagined by an established interior designer, the home masterfully blends modern luxury with the timeless charm quintessential to Essex. Original architectural details including hand-carved doors, staircase banister, fireplace mantels, and crown molding have been carefully preserved and elevated, honoring the home's history while seamlessly integrating refined contemporary finishes. Rare for a home of its era, the property offers an open floor plan, soaring 8 foot ceilings, and oversized windows that flood every room with natural light. The newly renovated kitchen features black wood grain cabinetry, quartz countertops, tile backsplash, Bosch appliances, and a Bertazzoni Italian range and hood. The primary bath offers a soaking tub, double vanity, and expansive tiled shower, while the second full bath showcases stunning terrazzo flooring carried seamlessly up the oversized shower walls. Basement could be converted to a gym and stand-up attic offers additional storage. Enjoy mornings on the front porch or from the eat-in kitchen with wall to wall windows overlooking beautifully landscaped grounds. A circular driveway provides an estate like entrance to the home, while the detached garage and 1,000 sqft barn with loft space offer flexibility, ideal for car enthusiasts, sailors, artists, or craftsmen.
