<p>This spectacular, Robert Stern inspired, shingle-style home sits directly on the waterfront, providing sweeping views of the Connecticut River.</p><p>The elegant formal living room has a fireplace and overlooks Essex South Cove and the Connecticut River. A formal dining room, also with a fireplace, invites you to a private courtyard. A stunning, first-floor, cathedral ceiling library has floor-to-ceiling bookshelves complete with a rolling ladder.</p><p>The gourmet kitchen also overlooks the cove and the river. It has an expansive island, built-in dining area, and is topped off with Viking and Subzero appliances. Adjacent is the mudroom/butler’s pantry and lavatory.</p><p>The first-floor master bedroom with its private bath overlooks the river. A second bedroom with panoramic views, a full bath, an open family room area, and a loft balcony room overlooking the kitchen completes this home’s pretty second floor.</p><p>Walkout ground-level rooms all have water views and include a third bedroom and bathroom, a family or media room with a sink and Subzero refrigerator/freezer, and a private office. This level also includes a large boat room or workshop, which is heated and has an overhead door.</p><p>A charming outbuilding is currently used as a chicken coop with electricity. The owner has permits in place for a dock. The lot is professionally landscaped. This is an opportunity to own one of the most desirable locations on the Connecticut shoreline and Lower Connecticut Valley—a private, opera singer’s retreat with secluded waterfront on South Cove, beautiful ledge outcroppings, a stone wall, and mature plantings surrounded by woods.</p><p>This home is being offered for sale by William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty for $1,750,000.
