Born in 1835. Reimagined for life today. Expanded to over 2,950 sq. feet, the new floor plan emphasizes light, proportion, and seamless flow from one room to the next. At its center, a beautifully composed chef's kitchen pairs a waterfall island with white cabinetry and an oversized walk-in pantry, making entertaining feel wonderfully uncomplicated. The adjoining vaulted great room is the home's defining gesture: window-lined and grounded by dramatic millwork. Three en-suite bedrooms invite family and friends to settle in with privacy. The primary suite offers two walk-in closets, while a generous upstairs lounge can easily serve as a library, office, or media room. A second-floor laundry adds discreet modern practicality. Beneath the polished interiors of an 8-month transformation, including a new roof, siding, plumbing, kitchen, baths, hardwood floors, and a Trex deck. Set on .85 acres next to the protected landscape of Bushy Hill Preserve, the property feels quietly removed while remaining close to Essex shoreline marinas, beaches, and notable restaurants-a country house with a sense of occasion and history without compromise. For those seeking a Connecticut escape without losing touch with the city, Ivorton offers an appealing position along the Northeast corridor. New Haven is an easy reach, while Nearby Old Saybrook provides rail connections to New York and Boston. Leave the pace of he city behind for wooded privacy and shoreline villages, yacht clubs, beaches, and celebrated dining and shopping - Close enough to remain connected, yet far enough away to TRULY exhale.
