    What's special

    This magnificent estate is one of the most admired homes in Essex. Enter from the elegant Porte Cochere into a “glass” porch. The ballroom-like living room is full of light and features a large box-bay-window seat, fireplace, bookcases, and gleaming floor. The handsome gourmet kitchen-family room boasts a large black cherry island, granite counters, subzero, Wolf stove top, 2 drawer dishwasher, double ovens, and fireplace. Two pair of sliders open from the family onto the spacious Pau Lope wood deck. The unusual formal dining-room space has two additional fireplaces close-by. The den/office has a full bath and is adjacent to a utility room affording the flexibility of first floor living. The back door enters into a light filled sitting room with a tile floor. The sumptuous master bedroom with a gorgeous maple floor opens to the large master bath with thermostat-masseur tub and 7 head shower. Three additional bedrooms and three full baths, a porch/sunroom with builtins, and an entry to the attic stairs completes the second floor. The 1.86 acre property is graced by large shade trees, flowering trees, rhododendrons and evergreens. A short walk from the deck brings you to the 20x40 in-ground pool with a bluestone patio. The charming village offers a Post Office, 3 restaurants, a library, the famous Ivoryton Playhouse, and close-by proximity to the Connecticut River, Marinas, yacht clubs, and so much more.
